Woodhall Spa Triathlon Press release from the Jubilee Park Steering Group - 7 Apr 10

Jubilee Park 1955

Who are the Friends?

The Friends of Jubilee Park are a voluntary group dedicated to securing the future of the amenity we know as Jubilee Park. We welcome all and seek to work in co-operation with East Lindsey District Council (ELDC) in order to secure and enhance the Park’s unique character within the heart of Woodhall Spa and as a major attraction within Lincolnshire.

What have they achieved so far?

Since its formation in 2005 FOJP has managed to secure a grant of £1.54 million from ELDC, which primarily was to be used to repair, upgrade and modernise the open air heated swimming pool and the changing rooms. The pump, heating and filtration systems were replaced in 2007 and the aim was to refurbish the pool at the end of the 2009 season. Subject to a successful tendering process this would hopefully see a stainless steel liner installed in the pool tank in preference to reinforced concrete and ceramic tiles. A stainless steel liner would guarantee pool use for at least another 25 years and reduce annual maintenance costs. The pool water would also be brought up to deck level, which would prove aesthetically pleasing and effective in skimming off the detritus that tends to accumulate on the surface of an open air pool. The design would also incorporate a stainless a steel staircase at the shallow end (see photograph), lane rope and starting block fixings for six lanes and underwater lighting. The children’s paddling pool, already much-improved in 2007 when the water temperature was raised to the same as the adult pool, was to retain it’s traditional construction, but be modernised to have the latest non-slip surface and water fun-games! The changing rooms were to be improved to allow for better and easier cleaning by staff, giving improved hygiene benefits as well as lowering running costs! The building will be updated, to provide, if technically possible, an additional family changing area as well as retaining the existing separated sex areas!

In June 2008 ELDC took the decision to close the Camping and Caravanning site for good at the end of the season and demolish the rapidly decaying cafe. This was undoubtedly very disappointing news to the staff and regular users, but the fact was the site was losing money year on year and required serious investment to improve the facilities and achieve DDA compliance. However, to enable other plans to mature the closure of the camping site was postponed until the end of the 2009 season and the cafe was repaired sufficiently to allow the local newsagent to operate it.

Unfortunately, the economic down turn and the loss of savings in Icelandic banks has since forced ELDC to review its spending and put a hold on the £1.54m. This action prompted Woodhall Spa Parish Council to take the initiative..........Press Release:

Spa to take over running of Jubilee Park

Woodhall Spa could be running Jubilee Park itself from the end of the 2010 season if all goes to plan.
At a packed public meeting on 22nd September, the Parish Council received overwhelming support for its proposal that the community takes over the running of the park from the district council and with its support. This would be subject to the acceptance of a business plan for the facility.

Over 200 people squeezed into St Peter’s Hall, to hear Parish Council Chairman David Clarke explain the background to the council’s proposal, designed to safeguard the long-term future of the Park, which has been run by East Lindsey District Council since local government re-organisation in 1974.

Jubilee Park was built for the people of Woodhall Spa by Lady Weigall and first opened in 1935. The Urban District Council took it over in 1948. In the recent Parish Plan the people of Woodhall Spa expressed their full support for this much loved and unique park and swimming pool and fears that it might close prompted public pressure on ELDC to invest in refurbishment. The Friends of Jubilee Park organisation was set up and there followed a long period of investigation and consultation with an independent consultancy appointed by ELDC .  The result was a promised investment of £1.54m.

The meeting heard, however, that because of the current economic crisis, ELDC was now facing significant cuts on the income it received from central government and its priorities had changed from an emphasis on leisure to one on tourism. Consequently it was having to look at ways of cutting its losses in running facilities like Jubilee Park, including putting them out to tender.  The chances of Woodhall Spa receiving the full investment as originally proposed were therefore almost non-existent and carrying on subsidising at current levels was not an option either.

Once the Parish Council heard of these changes in August, it immediately began taking advice on what it could do and decided that the only way forward was to propose that the community take over running the park, with ELDC support, and subject to a range of conditions. A meeting to discuss this was held with the Leader, Chief Executive and Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Tourism on 3rd September.

“They were amazed at the work we had already done. It was a very positive meeting. We were showing them a way to reduce their losses in the Park and they agreed to all our requests and conditions,” Cllr Clarke told the meeting.

These ranged from full disclosure of true costs- without overheads -and full involvement in the marketing, promotion and running of the park in 2010 to financial support in the preparation of a marketing plan and agreement that the pool itself and the buildings with it must be brought up to standard. The community organisation that would run the park would also be the one to project manage the refurbishment as without ELDC overheads it could make any investment go much further.

Any community takeover would also mean that all income streams must be retained and improved– including the existing caravan site and the café, the meeting was told. The aim was to use any profits from these areas to subsidise the pool, though it was hoped that with improved marketing and fewer overheads the current losses would be much reduced. 

“We all know that the marketing and promotion of the park over the years has been very  poor. We also know that if we are given the money to spend, we can make it go much further, East Lindsey agreed on both these points, “ David added.

The park would not, and could not, be run by the Parish council, but the council would oversee the setting up and launch of a suitable body and a steering group had been set up to take this forward with parish and district councillors and the Friends of Jubilee Park represented . A number of different models had been explored for the managing organisation. Paramount were the need to protect the assets- so they could not be sold off- and to limit individual liability.  “We have been advised that forming a Community Interest company would be the best way forward for us, but we are still looking at all the options,” he said.

In managing the risks it was currently proposed that  each part of the park – swimming pool, caravan site, café and the rest, would be run by separate businesses so that if one went down it would not threaten the rest. The whole would be co-ordinated by an umbrella body.

All this, however, was conditional on three important issues- that the community supported the idea, that a single proposal was put forwards from Woodhall Spa (no others would be entertained) and that the business plan, to be completed by summer 2010, was acceptable. The aim was to provide a sustainable framework for the park to continue. ELDC would initially provide a subsidy, yet to be agreed, but this would decrease over time.

“Most of the hard work will be in producing the Business Plan, this will be crucial” David explained. “We hope to find two or three people with management, financial or legal expertise to help us through this process, the plan itself will be prepared for us –at a cost- but we need an experienced team to guide it through.” He added that other people with expertise in specific areas could be asked to help with parts of the plan.

A separate group had also been set up by the Parish Council to look at the promotion and marketing of the pool, this would take feedback from the current season and feed into the business plan and into proposals for next year.

The meeting heard examples of the some of the many  ideas put forward so far- from adding value to the key card or season ticket to connecting up cycle ways with the water railway to make it easier for cyclists to access the park and approaching schools across the county to offer them summer term days out.

In conclusion David Clark asked the community to come up with more ideas- however mad or unusual they might seem,   on everything from pricing to opening times and suggestions for extra income streams. “We will consider everything,” he promised.

These can be submitted in a number of ways- via a special email address jubileeparkgroup@tiscali.co.uk, in suggestion boxes that will be placed in the library and around the village, to the parish office on Stanhope Avenue or via the existing community website www.woodhallspa.org

If anyone felt they had the right qualification to help steer the business plan production process, he also asked them to get in touch with the clerk or himself.

Since the meeting the council reported that many other ideas have been put forward. These included developing the café into a Bistro type venue, using the pool area for roller or ice skating during the winter, contacting swimming clubs around the county and offering pool time, developing the retail side of the pool, bringing back cycle hire, late night sessions and barbeques at the pool, more concerts to use the bandstand, better liaison with RAF Coningsby to attract users from there, and setting up a gym to be open all year.

The Parish Council will be keeping the community informed of future developments.

 

 

Press release from the Jubilee Park Steering Group - 7 Apr 10
 

Jubilee Park open air heated swimming pool in Woodhall Spa will open for the season on  Saturday 15th May and will be open every day until 19th  September,

The caravan park and other facilities opened at Easter.

The popular Park is subject to a proposed community enterprise takeover for the 20ll season and local volunteers have been shadowing East Lindsey District Council in all aspects from opening hours and promotion to staffing.

“We had to stick to the same number of  opening hours and budget as 2009, but within that we were able to make changes based  on our local knowledge and experience and feedback from regular users, “ explained David Clarke, Chairman of the Parish Council and leader of the Jubilee Park  Steering Group. “We decided to open in the middle of the month, as we used to, so that once the pool is open it is open every day. Until mid-June and again at the tail end of the season in September, there will be shorter opening hours during weekdays.  “

He added that the production and distribution of many more leaflets than before and a targeted advertising and editorial campaign will make sure everyone across the county, and beyond, has easy access to the timetables and information about the park and special events.

The Steering Group is preparing a business plan to present to the community, hopefully at the May 2010 Annual Parish Meeting.  If that plan is accepted by the community it will then be presented to ELDC for their approval in June or July.  This approval will then trigger a major refurbishment of the pool leading to the transfer of management back to the community for the first time since 1974. 

David Clarke stressed that the new management organisation will be owned and run by and for the community. "Returning Jubilee Park back to the community, whilst at the same time ensuring its financial security, is the major driver behind the project", he said.  "We will keep the community fully informed through the Parish Council, newsletters, local publicity and both the community and new Jubilee Park web sites.”

 The swimming pool is heated to an average 29°C (86°F) throughout the season, thanks to an updated and improved heating system,  and there are heated separate-sex changing changing rooms and hot showers for  chillier days.

The pool timetable can be seen now online at www.jubileeparkwoodhallspa.co.uk or in the jubilee Park section of the community website: www.woodghallspa.org

More information: David Clarke 01526 354330

 

 

Early days, but now that a Jubilee Park Steering Group and a Marketing Group have formed under the auspices of the Parish Council, further discussion is required to ensure we are all working as a team

What else would FOJP like to achieve?

- Raise the funds to construct a new cafe/community space

- Install a Bio-mass heating system to serve the swimming pool, local primary school and sheltered housing

- Incorporate a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA)

- Replace or upgrade the existing play park

- Improve the gardens

FOJP Mission Statement
 

Picture postcard of Jubilee Park in the early yearsThe Body, known as The Friends of Jubilee Park (FOJP), has been established as a result of the Parish Plan which was created and approved by the Woodhall Spa Parish Council (WSPC) in 2005.

The Friends of Jubilee Park have elected a committee which comprises a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, and elected members from the ’Friends’. The FOJP have a Constitution and accounts which are open to public scrutiny.

The purpose of the FOJP is to:-

Provide a customer-based link between all the users of the Park, the WSPC and ELDC (in whom the current ownership and management of the Park is vested). The FOJP will act as a recognised path of communication and consultation. All information and actions taken will be communicated to the WSPC and all other interested parties.

Maximise all the recreational, social and community aspects of the Park for the benefit and enjoyment of all.

Make our unique heritage known as Jubilee Park, a ‘beacon of excellence’ that demonstrates Woodhall Spa’s civic pride. The FOJP will also aim to secure and enhance the Park’s unique character within the heart of Woodhall Spa and as a major attraction within Lincolnshire.

Be forward thinking and visionary in our approach to the future of Jubilee Park, whilst at the same time being conscious of its heritage and current usage.

The work of the elected Committee will be to liaise directly with ELDC and all other interested parties to ensure the future and better management of the facility of Jubilee Park.

The FOJP Committee will:-

Piotr Kalinowski (Chairman FOJP Steering Group), Janet Smith (Author - Liquid Assets, the  Lidos and Open Air Swimming Pools of  Britain) and Craig Leyland (Chairman FOJP) - Jubilee Park

Ensure that the Park is pivotal to village life by encouraging local residents of all ages and groups to use all the facilities on offer, both now and in the future.

Publicise and promote the FOJP in order to encourage an open and meaningful exchange of information with the local community, users of the Park and the FOJP.

Ensure that new developments in the park also encompass the wider tourism needs which are so important to the economic viability of many businesses and employers in the local economy.

Liaise effectively with any party directed by ELDC to investigate the future viability of the Park in an open and constructive manner, while safeguarding the interests, as outlined above, of the local community and the valuable amenity we know as Jubilee Park.

Create sub-committees or steering groups to fulfil any specific purpose identified by the FOJP and to act on its behalf

FOJP - Three Options appraisal
 

Aerial photograph of Jubilee Park, Woodhall Spa. Open air swimming pool in the foreground.The purpose of the attached presentation is to secure a view for our Park that is consistent with the views and needs of our community, recognizing that Jubilee Park is a valued amenity that is unique to Lincolnshire. In October 2006 this view was shared with East Lindsey District Council, in parallel with those of the consultants for Jubilee Park - Erskine Corporation.

It is our intention that all interested parties will be aware of our views and needs.  For ease of understanding and consistency the same '3 options' format as used by the consultants was employed. Option 1 recommended the minimum action to be taken. Option 3 recommended an extensive review of all the Park facilities with cost implications to match.

We must emphasise that all the suggestions have been made after considering the comments and inputs from all user groups and discussions within the FOJP. Equally the FOJP Committee understand that the priorities of ELDC might preclude any suggestion. This might be applicable to the perceived value of the caravan and camping site to the Park.
 
In Option 3 the view is taken by the FOJP committee that the provision of landscaped pleasure gardens, 3 croquet greens, more open space and better vehicular access is of more value to the amenity than the caravan site. At Erskine’s stakeholder’s meeting of 07 August 2006 it was noted that there was little enthusiasm for the caravan site amongst those community and user groups present. It should be noted, as well, that in the Parish Plan the caravan and camping site was one of the least valued facilities in the Park. Thus we view our suggestion as reasonable.

Extract of letter penned by Sir Archibald Weigall:

" I am writing to ask your Council if they can give me a reply to the offer of a free gift of the Jubilee Gardens, cricket and adjoining fields.

"Your chairman knows that Lady Weigall and myself are very anxious that these grounds and their facilities should be available in perpetuity for the use of the place and, in particular, the youth of the community.

 
 
 
 

Extract from Sir Archibald's official opening ceremony speech

"I do hope that in this case the local authority at Woodhall will realise these grounds are not to be looked upon as income-earning primarily. I hope they will treat them, first and foremost, to be used in order to give young and old opportunity for real enjoyment. I hope that with careful administration there will be no cost to the rates; I hope the rate­payers will not look upon them from the point of view of £ s d."

The FOJP Committee
 
Who are the FOJP committee?
 
The FOJP Committee comprises twelve Woodhall Spa residents who, because of a lack of investment, were very concerned about the future of Jubilee Park, particularly the swimming pool where there was a very real danger that the tank, heating, filtration and pump system could fail at any time. Ten of the committee attended the inaugural meeting of FOJP in Oct 2005 and were instrumental in securing the funds which are now being used to upgrade the swimming pool and changing rooms. An eclectic mix of residents, but with the common aim of securing the future of the amenity we know as Jubilee Park. You can read their profiles and find out why they became involved on the attached sheet
