Notice Title

Park Pavilion Construction

Notice Description

MTC is seeking to appoint a suitably skilled and experienced construction contractor to demolish the existing pavilion in South Park, Macclesfield, and construct a new community pavilion in its place. This project has been in development for many years and has the backing of many residents of the town. South Park is the largest park in Macclesfield. It celebrated its centenary in 2022 after it was gifted to the people of Macclesfield by local Alderman William Frost. It has been a vital green space for residents ever since. The Park is a true asset for our town, and one that we have an opportunity to improve for our residents, our community and to attract visitors from near and far. South Park currently plays host to leisure activities including, play facilities, a skate park, open space for dog walking, tennis, bowls, and a very successful parkrun amongst other outdoor exercise activities. Page 4 of 10 The park has had a pavilion overlooking its band stand for a number of generations, with the current pavilion building replacing the original following a devastating fire in 1970s. This replacement building was most recently used as a base for the now ceased Connexions service. Currently the building acts as storage and shelter for the park maintenance team and on an ad hoc basis by the friends of the park group S:Park, the South Park Community Tennis Club and parkrun. Local residents have campaigned for a pavilion building in South Park for the past 20 years. Several in-depth consultations have been carried out with the community group SPARK (The Friends of South Park Group) and the Town Council as well as a recent round of face to-face consultations held in August 2022. MTC is looking for a suitably experienced building contractor to demolish the existing pavilion and construct a new community pavilion in the park. Macclesfield Town Council are asset transferring the building from the local authority Cheshire East Council and are seeking to demolish the existing pavilion and build a fully accessible and environmentally friendly building, available and open to all the community. A building that meets the needs, expectations and ambitions of the community, the park services as well as encouraging visitors to the park. Through project forming and evaluation, a building that is flexible and sustainable and that can provide for the community well into the future In early 2022, Bower Mattin and Young were hired as architects and were tasked with designing different designs to take to the public for consultation In Aug 2022, we held 4 public consultations, in the park and in the town centre. Over 750 detailed written responses were received. Our residents wish us to proceed with the project and identified two of the five designs that were presented to them. We have merged these two to provide a two-storey building with a number of the design features that were most valued. The proposed scheme is an environmentally sensitive pavilion designed to provide a wide range of flexible spaces suitable for family gatherings, fitness, dance, and regular cultural events. There will be a Changing Places toilet with baby changing for all park users. The ground floor consists of a large cafe area with chill out spaces housing local art exhibits and magazines. It will lead to a canopied outdoor terrace with seating overlooking the bandstand. There are also two large multi-purpose rooms which can provide a space for people to gather. The first floor overlooks the park and tennis courts. It will provide an event space for exhibitions, music, comedy nights and large family celebrations of up to 100 people. It is intended that the new building will be highly insulated and incorporate a turf/sedum roof to create a high thermal mass which will also assist water attenuation. Passive solar gain combined with a heat recovery and recirculation ventilation system and air source heat pumps will be at the core of the renewable energy proposals.
