Project summary
In no more than 150 words, summarise your project. We will use this text to tell people about your
project, including our decision takers.
In 1846 Peel Park became one of the UK’s first civic parks.
Since then the Park’s role has diminished and its heritage importance has been devalued. Strategically
located less than 1 kilometre from Manchester City Centre and adjacent to the University of Salford, Salford
Museum and Art Gallery and The Meadows, Peel Park is surrounded on all sides by a transformational
regeneration agenda. Over 7000 new homes and 20,000 residents will be within walking distance of it in the
next ten years.
The aim is to reconnect a growing population back to Salford’s social history and heritage value. The Park will
become the main civic open space for the cities of Salford and Manchester. Restoration will focus on the
Victorian concept of combining recreation, health and learning - providing new skills, activities and education.
Peel Park will once again be “A Park for the People”

1d Describe your organisation's main purpose and regular activities
Salford City Council is a local authority at the heart of the Manchester City Region with a City Mayor, and is a
leading player driving the economic resurgence of the Manchester City Region
The city council employs approximately 8,700 people and is divided up into five service groups which
collectively deliver the council's priorities and regeneration agenda.
These service groups are:
• Environment and Community Safety
• Children's Services
• Community, Health and Social Care
• Customer and Support Services
• Regeneration
The Environment and Community Safety Service Group has the overall responsibility for managing and
developing the park.
This Service Group is responsible for a host of services focused on the physical and social environment.
These services include the City’s Greenspace Management & Development Team and the Grounds
Maintenance Operations. This Service Group also manages community input and involvement via
Community Committees and Partnership Boards. The new full-time Park Keeper post to be created as part of
this HLF funded project will be based in the Environment and Community Safety Service Group.
A new city-wide vision 'Salford 2025: a modern, global city’ is now driving an ambitious regeneration agenda
led by the council working closely with partners. Transforming spaces, places, delivering outstanding
environmental quality and connecting people to the opportunities created – are all critical components of the
city’s delivery agenda. Maximising the outstanding heritage value and, opening up opportunities for walking,
cycling and recreational use are critical to this vision. Peel Park is a recognised priority for the city council
within this new framework

Section two: The heritage
In this section, tell us about the heritage your project focuses on and why it is valued.
2a What is the heritage your project focuses on?
Located within Irwell River Park, adjacent to Salford’s Chapel Street corridor and less that 1 kilometre from
Manchester City Centre, Peel Park is part of one of the largest green spaces at the heart of the conurbation.
This project focuses on the original 10 ha. area of the park (see Plan 6 of the Conservation Plan).
As a pioneering park and civic amenity Peel Park has great social and cultural significance. Manchester and
Salford were the first industrial cities in the world. Peel Park was one the earliest initiatives to mitigate the
impact of industrialisation on all classes of citizens. Prior to the opening of the park in 1846 public parks had
charges or standards of dress which excluded the “humbler classes.” Entry to Peel Park was free and
generally without restriction. It pioneered the provision of civic amenities across Salford and Greater
Manchester.
The Park pioneered public facilities for physical activity such as sports pitches, gymnasia and equipment for
games. Furthermore these included a ‘girls playground’, ‘girl’s swings’ and ‘girl’s gymnasium’; innovative
opportunities for physical exercises by both sexes in an age when women were not thought to be strong
enough for sport. These were well used and popular. The creation of the Museum, Art Gallery and Library in
the park provided the equivalent facility for mental exercise. (H. Conway People’s Parks CUP 1991) and Peel
Park features strongly in records of the industrialisation of Salford and Manchester as identified in the
Conservation Plan.
The role of the park as a place of local pride and a space to be enjoyed has become lost over time as the
many of its features have been removed, its management and maintenance has become fragmented, it is not
connected to the buildings around it or loved by the people who use it. During the development phase of the
project it has been necessary to revise elements of the Phase 1 proposals, this has been informed by the
Conservation Plan, through consultation and site investigations. Resorting some key original features has not
been practical due to insufficient historical remains or information being available and escalating budgetary
requirements. The project will focus on restoring the original historic structure of the park to its 1890's layout
as far as is practical, linking the park to its surroundings and linking people to the park through activities and
interpretation so that the park can once again become a place for enjoyment, inspiration, reflection and a
source of pride as was originally conceived in the 1840’s.
Opportunities to reinstate heritage features once associated with the park will be explored as part of future
development of the project.
2b Is your heritage considered to be at risk? If so, please tell us in what way.
The Conservation Plan identified a number of threats to the park as it exists at present (Table 4.1) and this
has informed the development of the bid.
The original historic structure of the park has been diluted through loss of historic structures and features,
encroachment, interruption of access routes, new paths and tree planting and the impact of new adjacent
development. Together with unfocused management and poor maintenance standards the park is in a poor
condition as identified in an 2014 mock green flag assessment score of 27/42.
Without addressing the need for capital investment to undertake physical improvements, developing
community interest and engagement and ensuring robust management and high quality maintenance the park
as a whole is in danger of becoming just a green space that people pass through on their rush to get some
where else. The park will loose the very essence that inspired its creation and its heritage significance will be
lost.

Section three: Your project
In this section, tell us about your project. Make sure you include all your planned activities, and
capital works if applicable.
3a Describe what your project will do.
Capital Works
The structure of the park will be restored, as far as possible, to that of the 1890s with distinct areas for events,
play and horticulture (Masterplan UV005215-L104 Rev D)
A. Access into the Park (Drawing UV 005215-L-PP-118)
Existing routes into the park from the terrace at the rear of the Museum from the Crescent and from the
University will be retained and upgraded. Three disabled parking bays will be provided at the start of the
riverside walkway. A ramped path will be provided from these to the Park Rangers Office (which includes a
disabled toilet) and the middle terrace. The riverside walkway will also be DDA compliant. Digital access
enhanced by WiFi coverage to support the interpretation of the park and encourage its use for study and
recreation.
In addition to the works proposed as part of the HLF bid, the Irwell Footbridge is being restored with new
steps and terracing into the park provided (UV 005215-114). This will link existing communities and new
development on the east side of the river with the park. Landscaping of the student village will include steps
and a ramped access into the park from the north.
B. Routes within the park (Masterplan UV 005215-L104 Rev D)
The pattern of paths existing in the 1890s will be retained and restored (see map 4 of the conservation plan)
as far as is practical. The later riverside walkway and the path between the University and the Irwell Bridge
will also be retained. Paths and lighting will be refurbished and new litter bins and seats provided.
C. Planting (Drawings UV 005215-L-PP-106 and UV 005215-L104 Rev D)
There will be selective removal of trees to open up views and create the event space. Replacement tree
planting will create a boulevard along the riverbank and to help define key areas. Amenity grass in the centre
of the park will be retained and restored and the banks around the park and the former bowling greens will be
established as wild flower species rich grassland.
D. Sub Areas
Historic Core (Drawing 005215-L-113).
The existing quatrefoil beds will be retained and used for Victorian ornamental shrubs and bedding plants.
The paths around the beds will be resurfaced with a tar spray and buff coloured chip finish. The stone edging
to the paths will be exposed and re-laid as required. The sites of the fountain and sundial will be clearly
identified with a view to future installation of these features or site for temporary artwork projects in
conjunction with the University and Museum. It will be within the historic core that in-laid graphic text and
tactile items are position to bring out the stories associated with the early Victorian era of the park.
Historic Flood Marker and Gathering Point (Drawing UV005215-110).
This is sited at the confluence of paths in the park. Unit paving and a fingerpost will mark this node as a
meeting place and site for small events. The flood marker will be restored and the area around it paved. The
dramatic flood stories of this park will be told via in ground graphics and tactile items set within the paved
area.
Event Area: This area will be opened up to provide a location for events.
Play Area and Bowling Greens (Drawing UV 005215-122 updated)

9
The existing play area will be relocated and fenced. The area will primarily be for under-10s with scope for
equipment for older children to be provided in the future. The two existing sculptures will also be retained. The
site of the former bowling greens provides a level space for informal play.

Activity Plan
Peel Park already hosts events and volunteering activities but the proposals provide an opportunity to greatly
expand and broaden its use.
A. Park Keeper:
The appointment of a dedicated park keeper for Peel Park will be crucial to the success of the activity plan
and of the project. Their role will be to coordinate the management and maintenance of the park and deliver
and develop the activities programme. The Park Keeper will be based in the park in an office converted from
the basement of the University’s Maxwell Building.

D. Health and Recreation:
The park can be used for a range of activities to improve the health and fitness of local people and staff and
students at the University. This will take the form of a self sustaining “Park Run” marked out in the park
(UV005215-L-PP-135 3-2-1) and led activities such as walking and runs for a range of age groups.
Output from Health and Recreation

Volunteering:
There is considerable interest in taking part in volunteering in the park. The activity plan identifies a range of
opportunities which will provide appropriate training including accredited training. These include; Gardening
Club, Volunteer Rangers, Student Volunteers and voluntary time on the proposed Peel Park Management
board.

Qualifications Obtained 20 p.a
E. Special Events.
Creation of the Event Space and more intensive management will allow the park to be used for more and
larger events. The Activity Plan includes an opening ceremony, a local community festival in alternate years
and the ‘Pink Picnic’ a popular annual LGBT festival. There is also scope for cultural events such as “Sounds
from the Other City” music festival, a film festival and theatre events. The park is already used for seasonal
events at Easter, Halloween and Christmas but the creation of new spaces within the park would broaden the
scope and the frequency of these.
The use of the park for special events would not be confined to those in the activity plan and it is expected

11
that proposals for other concerts, performances and festivals will come forward from the local community and
the University.
Outputs from special events
Number and % of activities that are cultural Minimum 10 events (2%).
Number of participants in cultural events 1000
Number of joint events between Park and Museum 8 events
There may be scope to develop opportunities for promoters to utilise the park in the future but it is recognised
that this may well be limited by physical access to the site by large vehicles and no car parking facilities.
Interpretation
Interpretation is aimed at educating visitors about the significance of the park, changing their perception of the
park, increasing use of the park and getting them to visit again. Interpretation takes two forms:
A. Physical Interpretation. This includes graphic panels at entrances to the park, text and tactile objects
to highlight particular aspects of the park’s history for (pages 16 and 20-26 Interpretation Plan). There will be a
separate signage strategy (ref UV0005215-L-Sign) which sets out the location of directional and information
signs in and around the park.
B Digital Interpretation. The parks location next door to MediaCityUK, the second largest creative and
digital cluster in Europe, provides access to a range of digital providers and the opportunity to work alongside
key partners such as the BBC and The University of Salford. The Council will work with the BBC and is
currently seeking permission to use their i- guides as a template for providing access to audio, films, images,
games and quizzes. Providing another layer to enhance the visitor’s digital access to the park, the Council will
work with the University to develop a 3D interactive virtual model to enable participation to visitors on and off
site. QR codes will be used on the physical interpretation points to pull through the layers of content on the
i-guides and within the virtual model. For example, to see a recreation of lost features, or to meet the gardener
(see page 17 of the Interpretation Plan). The availability of free Wi-Fi in the park will provide an invaluable
additional layer to enhance the users learning experience.

3b Explain what need and opportunity your project will address.
Heritage and significance needs
Changes made to the park over the years have been carried out in a piecemeal way addressing immediate
needs without focusing upon the heritage of the park. It is therefore not surprising that the Conservation
Plan’s assessment of significance considers it to be moderate. The rationale behind the Conservation Plan’s
assessment is that the park has lost many of its historic features, is surrounded by modern buildings and the
extensive recent tree planting. The project will address this and will re-establish the basic infrastructure on
which to build. It was hoped that the archaeological survey undertaken after the completion of the
conservation plan would reveal the remains of significant structures. Unfortunately the trenches excavated
dispelled the belief that the park contained any archaeological gems. This result does though place a
stronger emphasis on the need for interpretation of the park through its history.
The Museum and Art Gallery was originally set within the park. The conservation plan talks of the significant
opportunities for re-uniting the physical fabric of the park and museum. This is beyond the scope of this
project but opportunities have been taken to start this process. This includes the extension of the project
boundary to include the top terrace behind the Museum and tree clearance at the rear of the museum to give
betters view of the park from within the building. The proposed gateway features on the Crescent are being
delivered outside of this project and will re-establish the park as a key part of a cultural and civic space at the

12
heart of Salford and meet the aspirations of the HLF Phase 1 bid. In the longer term, it is proposed to recreate
the historic access from the front of the Peel Building to the nearby entrance to the park and consultation with
the University and SMAG are already taking place to explore how this can be achieved. This will complement
improvement work already undertaken on the existing entrance adjacent to the Maxwell Building alongside the
River Irwell. Both of these routes are shown on the Master plan.
The activity plan proposes joint working between the park and the museum which will ensure people can
experience both indoor and outdoor cultural facilities as was originally envisaged. The provision of
refreshment and toilets at the museum also mean that visitors can extend their stay.
The project will continue to adhere to the historic ambitions of the park to balance historical aesthetics,
focused on the central flower garden, and areas for sport and exercise. The conservation plan and other
consultations state strongly a need to increase the ‘dwell time’ within the park. Opportunities to provide for
informal physical activity will relate back to the park’s original purpose whilst addressing the needs of its
current audience. Point 2.9.8 from the conservation plan states “the park has always offered appreciation of
the horticulturists’ art combined with sporting activity, both beauty and health for the moral and physical
improvement of Salford.” That this is still very valid and becomes apparent when reviewing the consultation
results. Users are keen to see greater colour and variety in the park and the Friends are keen to be involved
in developing a varied and interesting planting scheme, providing more volunteering and training
opportunities.
Strategic and community needs
There are 27000 people living within walking distance of the park in over 13000 households. Many families in
the area live in flats with no access to gardens or outside space other than their local park. A diverse range of
communities surround the park including university students, families and BME groups. Events held in the
park are popular and well attended but the need for improved facilities and maintenance standard came out
strongly during consultations. The benefits to both physical and mental well being through access to quality
green space is as important now as when the park was first established and this will be of key benefit of the
project for the urban population.
Raised profile and better promotion of the park facilities and activities will help make the park a recreation
destination of choice for households in the area. The activity plan and the role of the Park Keeper will engage
people with the park and re-establish the park’s links to its communities.
Financial need
The conservation plan states “the design of the park evolved from its original appearance in 1846 to 1890,
with significant re-design. It goes on to explain part of the rationale behind this was “the initial budget was
insufficient, much of the money spent on land purchase”. This situation has remained consistent over its 150
year history of the park in that aspirations and needs set out in our Stage 1 bid cannot be fully realised by the
funding available.
Due to increased costs not fully recognised or identified at Stage 1 it has been necessary to modify the scope
of the project and increase the HLF grant request to ensure the delivery of physical works and activities can
enable the park to evolve as it did when first created.
3c Why is it essential for the project to go ahead now?
The importance of public parks in the UK and the civic history of Salford is increasingly recognised. The
coming together of the addition of the park within the Crescent conservation area in 2008 and the formation of
the Friends of Peel Parks in 2013 means the pause button has been pressed on the park's continued decline.
The project development stage generated a clear vision for the park based on its heritage combined with
meeting the needs of the adjoining communities. This will be lost if the project does not go ahead now and
the park’s decline will continue.
A new management opportunity:
The window of opportunity this project represents has resulted in the securing of funds for the uplift in
management and maintenance for the next five years. The HLF bid will be crucial in providing a Park Keeper
based in the park to act as a figurehead for the park. With people and organisations now engaged with the
park, the formation of a healthy, sustainable Park Management Board is also a realistic proposition.

13
Without appropriate management and maintenance continuing anti-social behaviour, vandalism and litter will
all impact on the park. Lack of proactive management and limited horticultural operations will affect the
remaining historic features and layout of the park and it is inevitable that the park will deteriorate
New audiences:
The park has fundamentally lost its function as a place of recreation and is now a place of transition with most
users passing through. The completion of the student village overlooking the park symbolises the growing
population in the area around the park with new housing developments in progress all around, made easily
accessible to the park via the opened Irwell River Bridge. For the first time people will be living immediately
adjacent to the park and the time is right to invest in this open space to serve these new communities as well
as the existing ones. Failure to proceed now will result in the current image of the park being engrained in
these new audiences. People will find other places to go, continuing the spiral of decline.
Funding availability:
The council’s overall capital programme is being halved in 2015/16. There is currently a funding commitment
from Salford City Council for the capital works in the delivery phase. It is there because a bid for additional
capital was made at the time of the Stage 1 submission. It would be highly unlikely that this match funding
would be successfully secured if the project failed to proceed now. The project has captured a moment in time
regarding obtaining council lead funding.
A successful bid will built upon the investment made in the last year to the approaches to the park and the
riverside walkway culminating in the restoration of the bridge across the Irwell (using the Local Sustainable
Transport Fund). Failure to obtain Parks for People funding now will make many of these improvements
meaningless.
Events and Activities:
Although the events held during the development period have demonstrated the potential for holding popular
events further development will be limited with out improvements in to the park and its infrastructure.
Maximising the regeneration opportunity:
At the time of the Stage 1 submission limited match funding for the park was thought to be available from
planning agreements (under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990). Continued
regeneration in the surrounding area has allowed £157,000 of Section 106 monies to be identified and
secured towards this project. However there is pressure on this funding from both changes in legislation
around the use of Section 106 monies and demands from other projects. If the project is delayed it is unlikely
that this match finding will be available.
The Council has worked closely with Community Forest Trust who has been successfully awarded a HLF
heritage grant to develop the Greater Manchester's Tree Heritage. Peel Park is one of the areas included in
this project and it would be advantageous to develop this further in tandem with a successful Peel Park bid.
The University of Salford is currently investing significant resources to improve their campus including better
links to the park. At Stage 1 a Unilateral Undertaking from the University resulted in secure match funding.
The development phase has further enhanced the university committment by both further additional monies
and also significantly increased in-kind support. This additional funding is not binding as part of any
development and could therefore be reconsidered if the project does not proceed.
3d Why do you need Lottery funding?
Peel Park is a park of historic significance valued by local people and with a much larger potential audience
For many people in the surrounding area it is the only space where they can meet play and relax but like
many parks it is in need of improvement to realise its full potential.
The development phase has really re-confirmed the reasons put forward at Stage 1 as to why lottery funding
is required:-
A successful bid in the Parks for People programme will help ensure the heritage status of the park is
recognised. Without this avenue of funding there is a risk of continued decline with any piecemeal
improvements neglecting the heritage value of the park and the likely outcome is further erosion of the
heritage fabric of the park.

14
Following population decline in the late 20th century the areas adjacent to the park have had a significant
population increase over the last decade. A high quality ’back-garden’ is needed requiring a major capital
input .
The level of decline at the park and the consequent level of investment required can only be overcome via
significant external funding. In the face of the decline in the Council’s capital funding the Parks for People
funding is an opportunity to deliver the project aspirations. The potential injection of funding together with the
need to deliver a green flag standard park has ensured the city council has committed to an increase in
revenue budgets to enable required standards to be achieved. This long term commitment will ensure that the
future of the park and its heritage can be preserved. Without external input there will be no opportunities to
secure the required uplift in management and maintenance funding from the city council.
The appointment of a Park Keeper is fundamental to the success of the project. The park keeper will have a
key role in not only maintaining the park but raising its status. Heritage Lottery Funding provides an ideal
opportunity to achieve this early in the project and ensures a platform is established from which the long term
aspirations can be realised.
Interpretation is seen as a key element of this project and without lottery funding the interpretation aspect of
the project will be lost and the significance of the park and its heritage will not be appreciated.
3e What work and/or consultation have you undertaken to prepare for this project and why?
In mid-May 2013, engagement with the emerging Friends group became more focussed and they have made
a major contribution to the proposals. As part of the project development the Friends and the working group
visited Parks in Manchester and Bolton which have received HLF funding.
In June and July 2013, surveys were conducted by the Broughton Trust. A total of 528 conversations and
questionnaires were completed of both park and non park users with a catchment area within 1,200m of the
park.
During the development phase a number of pilot events and activities have been held in the park. Those
attending the events and activities were shown proposal for the park and given the opportunity to comment.
In October 2014, 50 surveys were completed with university students and a display was put up in the Salford
Museum and Art Gallery and with opportunities for visitors to leave comments. The display was then moved
to the Halloween event held in the park on the evening of the 31st October 2014. On line consultation was
invited and promoted through local community groups and neighbourhood forums.
The park was evaluated by qualified in house judges for a second time using the Green Flag assessment
criteria. All of the information collected has informed the proposals.
A number of meetings have taken place regarding digital access to the park with the University of Salford and
the BBC identifying the potential to utilise the BBC’s I-guides as a template to providing access to audio, films,
images, games and quizzes. This will also provide a mechanism in capturing user generated content adding
to the collection of existing stories from the 1890’s to now. Alongside this, the Council has been in discussions
with the University of Salford to develop an interactive virtual model of Peel Park, allowing users to explore the
park in both present day and as it was in the 1890s.
To inform the design process an access audit was commissioned and recommendations are included in the
proposals.

Section four: Project outcomes
In this section, tell us about the difference that your project will make for heritage, people and
communities.
4a What difference will your project make for heritage?
The Management and Maintenance Plan provides clear guidelines for the maintenance regimes required. The
annual budget for the maintenance of the park over the project period will be £212,000. This is in addition to
the current budget of £10,400 per year. Any income made from the use of the park by concessions or private
events will be rechanneled into the maintenance budget. The Council is in discussion with University of
Salford to extend the responsibilities of their grounds maintenance teams to the park, reducing costs and
providing locally based maintenance. The appointment of a Park Keeper based within the park will provide
onsite supervision of all aspects of the maintenance of the park including volunteer engagement.
The physical work to the park will reverse the impact of reduction of maintenance. It will, use high quality, low
maintenance design and materials to limit maintenance costs. The layout of the park once completed will
create areas where maintenance will be concentrated, for example the historic core.
The Management and Maintenance Plan proposes a management organisation which provides clear
management structure which engages local stakeholder. The presence of a Park Keeper and a local
management organisation will provide the basis for the more effective recruitment, training and retention of
volunteer teams.
The Park and its heritage will be in better condition
The masterplan for the park proposes upgrading and replacement of existing features and facilities including
resurfacing of paths and steps, restoration of lighting (using LED bulbs for reduced maintenance), and
replacement bins and seats. Existing tree cover which dominates the park will be better managed to open up
views and remove damaged, dying or diseased trees with new trees being planted where appropriate. The
play area will be relocated and the equipment replaced or refurbished. The Irwell Sculpture Trail installations
will be refurbished. The beds in the historic core will be replanted.
The Heritage of the Park will be better interpreted and explained:
A successful bid would provide the opportunity to inform users and the wider population of the significance of
the park, its history and its features. Visitors will be shown the history of Peel Park, its significance as one of
the first public parks and the context in which it was created. They will be told about the role the park has
played in the history of Salford. They will learn about the flora and fauna of the park including how it was
gardened in the Victorian era.
Interpretation will be provided through graphic panels which show the different areas of the park and give an
overview of its history and significance. Other panels will provide a welcome to the park and give information
on how to become involved in its management and maintenance as well as directional information. Paving,
seating and sculpture will have integral interpretation highlighting historical and current activities in the park
and encouraging greater use (see interpretation plan).
This physical interpretation will be directly linked to digital interpretation. This will be available to users of the
park at digital access points. This interpretation would also be available offsite through the park website.
There is considerable scope for the expansion and adaption of the digital interpretation through the life of the
scheme.
The Heritage of the park will be identified and recorded:
The development phase of the project has revealed more information about the history and management of
the park that has hitherto been known. A key discovery has been the Head Gardeners Report Books
1874-1887 and the Park Committees reports. Press reports show the impact the park had on the lives of the
community as well as a record of events and activities. More postcards have emerged in the development
phase which assists in understanding the appearance of the park and its chronology (see conservation plan)
The Activity Plan provides for further recording and presentation of the finding through the Peel Back
programme. This work has already been started by the Community Archive group of the Friends. Additionally
the interpretation of the park presents an opportunity to provide a continuously updated record of what we
know about the heritage of the park. The involvement of the University and the BBC in this project will provide

16
exciting opportunities to disseminate and interpret the heritage in new ways such as a 3D visualization. There
is scope for further academic research into Peel Park and a pioneering public facility
4b What difference will your project make for people?
People will develop skills through volunteering, training and heritage focussed events and activities. This will
result in Peel Park and the heritage being better looked after, understood and managed. Structured training
activities will ensure volunteers receive accreditation in areas such as horticulture, leading walks,
conservation skills and species identification.
People will have learnt about heritage through the activities plan and interpretation. The programme has been
designed to meet a range of users needs; including families, young people, disabled groups and older people.
Under 5s and their parents or carers will learn about the site, its significance and the role of the Park Keeper
through a programme of story walks. Young people and students will be engaged by the onsite and digital
interpretation. With free wifi access in the park, people will be able to find out more about the sites heritage
online there and then.
People’s attitudes and behaviour will have changed towards Peel Park and its heritage. Once an underused
park with a lack of facilities and low levels of maintenance through the project the park will thrive, resulting in
increased visitors. Increased use and involvement will give the local community a sense of ownership for the
park instilling a growing respect, appreciation and understanding of its significance. Individuals personal
interests will be encouraged and catered for with photography groups, gardening clubs, sports activities and
historical themed events and guided walks.
People will have had an enjoyable experience through the provision of a range of facilities and activities. Park
users will build relationships with the park keeper who will welcome them to the park, providing a familiar face
and a uniformed presence. The Park Keeper will provide excellent customer service dealing with all enquiries
rapidly as they will be based within the park.
Volunteering will create opportunities for park users to work as a team to improve their local environment.
They will meet new people and forge new friendships through social interaction with others who share a
common interest. Activities will provide free opportunities for families and young people to have fun outdoors,
learning new skills in a high quality, well maintained park. People will have volunteered time to help manage
and maintain the park, steward events, collate information, photographs and memories and record the
changes taking place in the park through photography.
Volunteers will be offered training and be able to gain an accreditation. They will meet new people, learn new
skills, get outdoors and get active. The friends group will continue to grow and take an active role in decision
making regarding the park, its management and its future.
4c What difference will your project make for communities?
Environmental impacts will be reduced through the installation of more efficient lighting and increased areas of
diverse planting created. Sustainable drainage systems will be installed. Plants bought will be peat free and
wildflower areas will be created from native seed. In addition to the wildflower areas new trees will be planted
creating habitats for wildlife.
More people and a wider range of people will be engaged with heritage. Through the development phase of
our project we gained a good understanding of who our non users are and why they do not use the park. This
information has been used in the development of the activities plan and within the landscape design which will
result in a more diverse audience engaging with the park and its heritage.
The local area will be a better place to work, live and visit with an attractive park to serve the community. Peel
Park is a key green space within the city not only because of its historical significance but also because of its
position. Peel Park provides a recreational space for many residents who live in flats or houses without
gardens. In particular it is the closest park to the University of Salford and its student accommodation and
members of staff place of work. Peel Park is located in a diverse area; through the project a space which
meets the needs of the whole community will be created. The park will have something for everyone.
The local economy will be boosted as Peel Park will become a visitor attraction. People will travel to Peel Park
and as a result visit nearby businesses and services such as the Salford Museum and Art Gallery, its shop
and café. Visitors will make use of the parks great transport links; the park is 2 minutes from a main bus route

17
and 5 minutes from Salford Crescent train station. The activities plan will support small businesses, buying in
their services to deliver sporting activities, archery and performance.
Our organisation will be more resilient through the creation of partnerships with the University of Salford,
Salford Museum and Art Gallery (Salford Community Leisure), volunteer teams and local residents. A
dedicated Park Keeper will ease the pressure on resources, engaging volunteers to help manage and
maintain the park.
Through the project relationships and projects will be developed with voluntary organisations. Additional
funding will be sought from grant giving bodies and trusts to support these increasing the investment in the
park and the local area.

Section six: After the project ends
In this section, tell us about what will happen once your project has been completed.
6a How will you maintain the outcomes of your project after the grant ends and meet any additional
running costs?
The park will be better managed as a result of this project:
The Peel Park Management and Maintenance Plan 2017 – 2021 (Appendix 7) sets out the partners’
commitment to preserving, protecting and maintaining this asset. The current investment by the city council of
£10,400 to cover basic maintenance will increase to £51,372 annually representing an 80% enhancement. To
achieve this Salford City Council will increase its contribution by £40,971 per year and has committed a total
of up to £212,000 over the first 5 years of the project. In addition any income secured through concessions,
events and activities will be ring fenced to Peel Park to further enhance the park. This commitment is a
significant demonstration of a long term prioritisation of Peel Park by the city council.
The Management and Maintenance plan was provides a framework that will give long-term guidance and
direction towards achieving a well managed and maintained park that meets Green Flag standards. The work
programme will be reviewed every year to ensure that the management and maintenance responds to
changing circumstances while retaining green flag objectives and standards and the plan will be reviewed
every 5 years.
Attaining and retaining green flag standard for Peel Park will ensure that the investment and on going
commitment to standards are delivered. The greenspace team have a wealth of experience in transforming
previously rundown, underused parks into award winning sites and 3 of the team are green flag judges. The
city council has budgeted for a 5 year package of maintenance funding for Peel Park and has made a long
term commitment to retaining its green flag standard parks.
In order for the park to become a viable community resource and visitor destination it is important that the
whole area has to function as one integrated destination and the management and maintenance of the park
must not been seen in isolation. Through partnership working with SMAG, the university and other land
owners the city council will ensure the management and maintenance of the surrounding area is linked into
the improvement programme for the park.
The park and its heritage will be in better condition as existing facilities will be improve to a high standard. The
designs have been developed in collaboration with partners, local groups and residents. Plans have been
specifically developed so as to minimise on going costs. This includes ensuring materials of a high quality,
hard wearing and vandal resist. Being financially realistic and cost conscious from the beginning has been
crucial. This has meant being inventive, undertaking value engineering exercises and avoiding the creation of
capital and revenue liabilities where possible.
The project delivery period will be a time of great transformation for the Park and the communities around it.
This is a one-off opportunity for step change that will leave a lasting improvement and legacy. The way the
space is used will be transformed as significant, visible, physical change over a short period of time which will
raise the profile of the space and attract people to it. Activities specifically attract a wide range of people to the
space, allowing them to use and enjoy it on a regular basis. Access points, way-finding and facilities will make
a visit easier and far more pleasant
Attitudes to the area will change as physical change and increased use mean the area is perceived as safer
and more welcoming. The removal of a significant number of trees has already improved sightlines; further
tree work together with increased lighting will improve the sense of security throughout the park. The
presence of the park keeper will help to change attitudes to the park, increase usage and reduce problems of
vandalism and anti social behaviour.
The role of the full-time Park Keeper is vital to ensuring that the park becomes a vibrant community asset and
that its management and maintenance plan is implemented. Having a dedicated member of staff means that
there is a clear and distinct focus for the park that will continue beyond the initial physical construction phase.
The Park Keeper post will be a key role within the Parks and Greenspace Team, the post holder will have
good horticultural skills and will work closely with the Grounds Maintenance Team.

21
Volunteering is at the core of building local ownership. It builds capacity, harnesses energy and enthusiasm
and places the park at the centre of the community. It will also play a key role in supporting the on-going
maintenance of the park. The Friends of Peel Park are keen to be actively involved in carrying out practical
management within the park and along with university students and other interest groups the park keeper role
will ensure that everyone can play an active part in the ongoing duty of care for the park.
The Activity Plan, (Appendix 6) describes in detail the range of activities that will be undertaken to train people
to look after and care for the park and promote its heritage.
Community involvement will be the core of all activity and decision-making. This is critical to ensure that Peel
Park is valued and used by the community in the longer term. The level of local commitment and community
involvement can only grow during the delivery period and will be developed and supported by the park keeper
and Parks and Greenspace Team. The legacy of this project will be the development of the Peel Park
Management Board drawing together expertise from Salford City Council, the local community and external
partners to set the strategic direction, objectives and delivery for the future.

6c How will you evaluate the success of your project from the beginning and share the learning?
Appendix B of the Evaluation Plan gives a summary of the methods to be used to record the project. Specific
resources have been set aside throughout the life of the project to carry out monitoring and evaluation.
Visitor numbers are provided by two automatic counters at the busiest entrances. These will be retained and
used for the life of the project. Location was determined by a “Calibration Survey”; a manual count of visitor
numbers carried out in May 2014. This will need to be repeated as the park changes (see Appendix C of the
Evaluation Survey). Use of websites and/or apps and the number of downloads will be measured by recorded.
An initial Green Flag application will be submitted once capital works in the parks are completed and then
made annually for seven consecutive years.
The most effective surveys are face-to-face interviews with visitors and residents. This was used at the
pre-application stage. These are expensive to run and cannot be used every year. A full survey will be run at
the end of the project. Visitor surveys can be carried out by volunteers or through postal or online
questionnaires. The Evaluation Plan suggests a range of surveys.
The Evaluation Plan also requires surveys of audiences at events and activities to determine their response to
the activity and the type of audience engaged. Requirements for capturing volunteer numbers and
demographics are also set out.
We also need to “tell the story” of the project beyond hard statistics. A historical reference has been the Head
Gardener’s Records. A similar ‘Park Keepers Daybook’ is proposed in the evaluation plan to record the
restoration of the park. Media such as photography films and stories can be used to record the changes to the
park and the impact on users (e.g. “before and after” photographs by a local photography group). Records will
be retrievable for the final evaluation and future projects.
The basic means of reporting are the Annual Parks for People Monitoring Return every February. At the end
of the project the Evaluation Report describes the overall impact.
Evaluation will rely on the Park Keeper whose responsibilities are set out in the evaluation plan. Activity
managers and the park keeper will provide qualitative information about the impact the project has had on
individuals, groups, and the community. The annual return provides the focal point for evaluation but data has
to be collected throughout the year. Continuous evaluation can indicate whether targets have been achieved
or adjusted and justify changes. Progress against targets provides motivation and encouragement for the
team and provides positive stories for the press and politicians.
The achievements of the project will be reported monthly to the managing group. This could be distributed
widely using newsletters, notices within the park, blogs and website/Facebook entries. An annual evaluation
report would also be produced for the managing group, City Mayor and Salford City Council.
