Foreword
As Cabinet Member with responsibility for parks and green spaces it has been very exciting to see the changes take place in Portswood Recreation Ground. The improvements to the park over the last few years are the result of successful joint working between council officers, partner organisations, external funding bodies and most importantly the local community. I am very pleased that we are now in a position to make a Green Flag application to celebrate the improvements of this park.

Executive summary
Design and planting Establishment of new of Community Friends Group Garden Plans to improve access at all entrances
Installation of new paths and fences Ongoing commitment from community to continually improve the park
The first “One Big Community Planned access Festival” event ramp at the 2010 Brickfield Road entrance Exciting times for Portswood Rec 2010 has seen excellent preparation for the parks’ first submission for the Green Flag Award. The Friends of Portswood Rec (FOPR) has been formed, NBSP Resident Group, Southampton City Council (SCC), Portswood Primary School and other key stakeholders in the park have contributed to the vision and enjoyed seeing park users benefit from the new facilities so far. The next year looks very promising for Portswood Rec, with the focus on delivering the improvements to increase accessibility, especially the construction of the disabled access ramp at the Brickfield Road entrance and removing the obstacles to easy access at the other entrances, altering the dog area fencing to meet with user requests and finishing the community picnic area with the addition of picnic benches and barbeque area.
Bringing Portswood Rec into the 21st Century The work has included a wide range of park improvements following a consultation and original design ideas from Groundworks Solent. This has been largely built on by the work with the strong NBSP Residents Group, led by Raf and Sarah. There has been praise regarding the park, its improvements and an increased sense of ownership and pride, evident in the consultation work that has
- 4 – been carried out. The perception of the area has improved, with users wanting to stay in the area longer.
Creation of the Community Picnic area and gardens. The residents expressed a strong desire for an area, free from restrictions, where all members of the community could gather and meet with or without their dogs. So a plan was drawn up for the new garden on the site of the old, played-out rose garden, which was in dire need of renovation. The planting was specifically selected not only for their ornamental value but also to specifically attract Moths (especially Hawk Moths) and Butterflies. This included the introduction of plants often considered as “weed” species such as “Lady’s Bedstraw” and “Rosebay Willow Herb”. The caterpillars of Hawk Moths being large and often elaborately coloured, offers an ideal teaching resource for the Portswood Primary School and park visitors alike. The residents group NBSP successfully applied for the Greening the City grant of £2,000, which bought the plants, and local residents assisted in the garden’s creation.

The proposed plans for the community garden were drawn up (see below) and agreed with the residents group.
The old rose and shrub beds were removed and replanted.

Established Friends of Portswood Rec The Friends of Portswood Rec group has been constituted. Many were recruited at the community’s fantastically successful end-of-summer event “One Big Community Festival”. Hopefully the newly constituted friends group will be able to contribute and steer the Rec into the future. They have a strong inclusive ethos and actively include all local residents including local businesses and the transient student population – hence the timing of the annual event to coincide with the return of resident students after the summer holidays.
Ongoing commitment from the community to continually improve the park The early phases of the improvements are now complete with the area used by the adjoining Portswood Primary School for sports being enlarged and enclosed and a tarmac path being laid around the outer perimeter to provide equal access to the newly formed, enclosed dog walking area leading round into the community garden. There is still much to do, improving the entrances, the picnic area, adjusting fences to meet feedback, enclosure of the play area, better definition of disabled parking places next to the Portswood Primary School, installation of removable fence panels to facilitate the summer event.
Plans for additional signage Notice boards have now been installed at the 2 main entrances to the park which contain information regarding the park and local events held in it, these are maintained by nominated representatives to ensure the information is current.
Park events for 2010 The Friends were very keen to build on the successful “One Big Community Festival” of September 2010. The “One Big Community Festival” event was organised by the NBSP group in conjunction with Southampton Sight (a local charity working with Blind and partially sighted people), and was attended by over 5,000 people. It was an amazing success and is hoped to become an annual event. This proved to be a model community event of which the organisers should be very proud.
In late September a very successful land draw was held on the site which involved pupils from Portswood Primary School.

Chapter 1 - Introduction
The purpose of this management plan is to set out a framework to guide the development of Portswood Rec for the future, ensuring that it meets the needs of the whole community, in line with a number of council policies. It should be considered as a “live”, workable document that sets out the terms to be applied over the next three years, including an action plan which is subject to annual review and goal setting.
The management plan has been put together by staff working in the park, the Friends of Portswood Rec, NBSP, the Portswood Primary School and involvement from other community stakeholders.
Chapter 1 gives some background information on Portswood Rec, including its history, features, area information, governing polices and resources. The second chapter provides more detail through the vision, aims and objectives of the park and the final chapter provides the key actions and recommendations which are both short and long term.
This plan will form the future running of Portswood Rec, combining City Council Policy and legal requirements and the views of those who live, work and enjoy the area.
1.1 Description of Portswood Rec
Portswood Recreation Ground (locally and affectionately known as “Portswood Rec”) is centrally placed in Southampton, near to Southampton University approximately half way between Portswood and Swaythling district centres.
It is an area of approximately 2 hectares and its facilities include 2 tennis courts, sports pitches, play area, community/wildlife garden and dog walking area. It is bounded on three sides by residential properties which on the whole back onto the park. On the fourth side there is the Portswood Primary School who have very limited grounds and use the park as an extension to their site for sporting activities.
There is a wide range of users, including the primary school, sports users, dog walkers, tennis players, local parents & children, students and others. With such a small site it is a challenge to balance the needs of all.
Recent improvements have gone some way towards balancing the needs of all the users, but there is still some major challenges ahead. These include: • Improving access for all abilities • Ensuring the dog walking area works for its users • Improving entrance features • Exploring the viability of extending the tennis courts

1.2 Brief History
The 2 hectare area that is now Portswood Rec was once a gravel pit. In 1920 a suggestion was made at a council meeting that a recreation ground be laid with a bowling green and tennis courts, unfortunately this failed to gain support. However, further attempts were made to establish the ground during the 1920’s and in 1930 the land was compulsory purchased with an entrance off Kitchener Rd.
In 1933 a play area was defined and in 1935 the uneven refuse dump was levelled and drained and paths and trees planted. In June 1937 as the area needed more constant care it was agreed that this work would be undertaken by council parks staff. Concerns still existed about the state of the grounds especially as Portswood School wanted to use the playing area but were discouraged due to the immature state of the grounds.
The Rec then became well maintained formal gardens with on site staff and an attendant to look after the tennis courts. In the 1990’s, with the reduction of revenue into green spaces, the park became run down and it has only been in the last 4 or 5 years that money has once again become available for some capital investment.
The majority of the money came through Children’s Services and Learning who recognised the need to improve the playing pitches and reconfigure the site to reduce the conflict this had on dog walkers. The rest of the money has come through a mixture of developer contributions and successful funding bids. This has resulted in an improved environment and useable park for both the school and other users.
With capital money available a decision was made to work in partnership with Groundwork Solent to carry out initial consultations to get the views of the public on what improvements might be needed.
Their findings, from a meeting held in May 2007 are summarised here;
Summary report from the consultation event (17/05/07) regarding the proposed plans
A consultation event was held on Portswood Recreation Ground on Thursday 17th May 2007, between 14:00 and 18:15. It was carried out by Groundwork Solent, on behalf of Southampton City Council, to gauge the public response to the proposed plans for improvements to Portswood Recreation Ground. A leaflet drop advertising the event was carried out a week prior to the neighbouring 300 properties, together with posters put up at the entrances of the Park. Portswood Primary School also advertised the event in a newsletter that went home with the school children.
A summary of the responses we received are set out below. • A total of 39 people completed the questionnaire, with many more talking to us and sharing their views.
- 10 –
• 20 respondents (54%) were in favour of the proposed plans, 8 respondents (22%) were not in favour, with 9 respondents (24%) being undecided. • Most people questioned (44%) visit the park on a daily basis, with a further 38% visiting it several times a week. • The most common purpose for visiting the park was as a space for children to play, followed by a place to play sport, then to walk a dog. • The improvements that most users wanted to see were improved footpaths (23 responses), toilet facilities (21 responses) and better/improved play facilities (21 responses, with all the other improvement options scoring highly. • 57% of those questioned were women. • 63% were aged 31-45. • 77% of respondents have at least one child under 16 in their household. • When asked if interested in setting up a ‘Friends of Portswood Park’ group, 21% of the respondents said yes, 31% said no, with 35% saying maybe. • The current standard of grass cutting was rated good to okay. • The current standard of litter clearance was rated okay to good. • The current standard of footpaths was rated okay to poor. • The current standard of seating was okay to poor. • The current standard of play equipment was okay to poor. • Overall the current standard of the park was rated okay to good.
From this consultation Groundwork drew up a master plan for the site and bid for funds from a landfill tax award. The designs moved the football/sports pitch closer to the school giving an area which could be fenced and allow dog walking off of leads. It also showed an extension to the tennis courts.
There was a need for extensive fencing to make the areas work and this was installed in 2008/9, along with moving and improving the sports pitches.
This design has been improved upon in more recent times following further consultation and the rise of the residents and friends of group, and now includes the improved access and community garden.

Southampton City Council has recently amended its priorities and six new key priorities have been identified. Portswood Rec supports these priorities in the following ways;
1. Providing good value, high quality services The improvements to the park have greatly enhanced the garden area, provided the school with more space to use for physical education, old wood and chain link many of the fences have been replaced with quality powder coated mesh fences, some of the entrances have been opened up for better access, new paths have been laid and some new seating has been installed. There is lots of play equipment and free usage on the two full sized tennis courts.
2. Getting the city working Recent improvements to Portswood Rec have greatly improved the infrastructure of the area, new footpaths, fences with additional planting. These improvements have involved the community in the design and development stages. The One Big Community Festival” event involved many local businesses improving links with the local community.
3. Investing in education and training. The old dog walking area has been sterilised and is now ready for use by the adjoining school for sports activities. The new community garden has been planted to increase biodiversity, which along with the bank bordering the Rec’s western edge provides a teaching resource for the school and public alike.
4. Keeping people safe The local community and many agencies (e.g. PCSOs and City Patrol) have been involved in the design of the park from the start and will continue to do so. The local police attended the community event strengthening links with the local community. A reduction in the height of the beech hedge around the community garden offers much better visibility and the garden it overlooked by adjacent flats.
5. Keeping the city clean and green. The park offers a diverse green resource within an area surrounded by residential streets. The new planting has biodiversity in mind and the mixture of amenity turf, trees, native and exotic planting and areas left to revert to nature all contribute to creating a green “lung” in a very built-up district.
6. Looking after people. Portswood Rec has a wide range of visitors and we hope that access improvements will make it more available to an even wider community. The renaissance of the Rec has become a factor in the recent cohesion of the local community offering an ideal site for their “Big Community Festival”

Council Strategy/ Plan Key theme for management of Portswood Rec Southampton’s Green The Green Space Strategy was adopted by Cabinet Space Strategy (GSS) in October 2008. The strategy provides a classification of parks based on quality and standards. All park management plans link to the GSS. Key priorities include: • Increasing community involvement in the management and maintenance of green spaces • Encouraging more events and activities in parks • Increasing the number of Green Flag Awards across the city and using the criteria set out to inform future management plans. Core Strategy Has specific planning policy on enhancing and increasing green space provision in Southampton. As well as policies on climate change adaptation and green infrastructure improvement. The GSS acts as an evidence base for this document. Biodiversity Action Plan Protect, promote and improve biodiversity across the city. Portswood Rec now has a biodiversity action plan to help improve biodiversity. Street Scene Strategy To improve the quality of streets, parks and open spaces across the city making Southampton ‘smarter, safer, cleaner’ CAA (Comprehensive The CAA concluded that overall SCC performs well. Area Assessment) Quality green spaces are included in the overall assessment of the area. LAA (Local Area The Cleaner, Safer, Greener block of Southampton’s Agreement) LAA includes a target for the achievement of Green Flag awards. Portswood Rec will be a key park in achieving this target. Play Policy Making play provision welcoming and accessible. Neighbourhood Services A key overarching priority of the business plan is to Business Plan make Southampton a greener city, specific commitments include; • Delivering the GSS action plan by identifying and prioritising further park improvements • Developing a green park code to include dog control orders. • Improving sustainability and climate change adaptations.

1.4 Service Standards
1.4.1 Service Promises The Neighbourhood Services Division of Southampton City Council is responsible for managing, maintaining and developing Portswood Rec. The Neighbourhoods Team manages and maintains all Southampton’s parks and green spaces in line with a set of ‘Service Promises’ that define baseline standards of service that customers can expect to see delivered consistently across the city. The ‘Service Promises’ were developed in consultation with community groups and key stakeholders and are written in clear and non- technical language to enable all customers to easily recognise the standards of service they can expect to see delivered within their neighbourhood. The Green Spaces Service Promises are published on the Parks and Green Spaces page of the city council’s website. Compliance is monitored through ongoing monthly on- site inspections, with a target of >95% of sites visited judged to be maintained in line with the service’s published standards. Performance results form part of the Division’s performance scorecard and are reported in the Neighbourhood Services Business Plan. Service Promises are included within staff’s team appraisal targets, with local performance reported and reviewed at regular team meetings.
1.4.2 Quality Standards Park development needs and priorities are informed by user consultation and standards set out in Southampton’s Green Space Strategy. This promotes audits to be undertaken to assess their current status and to give a baseline for future improvement and required investment. A quality audit of all of Southampton’s Parks was undertaken by an independent consultant in autumn 2009. The data collected was based on Green Flag criteria and gives a good idea of the areas where quality needs to be improved. The Audit also gives an idea of numbers and quality of seating and bins. Portswood Rec scored 64% against the Green Flag criteria. The results of the audit provide a sound basis for continued improvements.
1.5 Resources
1.5.1 Staff The Parks and Street Cleansing section (P&SC) within the Neighbourhood Services Division of Southampton City Council is responsible for managing and maintaining the Park. Des Legg (Central District Manager) manages both the Park and local District Team (see appendix 1) and is supported by John Horton, (Parks and Street Cleansing Manager). Nick Yeats (Trees Allotments and Park Improvements Manager) also assists with policy and strategic development of the park. Staff involved in looking after Portswood Rec have a wide range of experience working in parks and green spaces. This experience is invaluable in
- 15 – the day to day maintenance and management of the park. The team are dedicated and proud of their park.
Although there are no full time staff dedicated to working in Portswood Rec alone, the Central area grounds maintenance team visit the site daily. This team carries out the grounds maintenance within the park as well as the surrounding area. The work includes grass cutting, tending shrubs and herbaceous plants, general cleansing and litter bin emptying. In addition, the large areas of grass are maintained via the citywide tractor team and support on ecology and natural environment work is given from the Environment team based at Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre.
1.5.2 Finance and Budget
At the time of writing, the budget expenditure forecast for Portswood Rec for 20010/11as detailed below.
Forecast Expenditure Activity 10/11 (£) Amenity grass maintenance 1000
Shrub and hedge maintenance 500
Play area maintenance 1300 Sweeping, bin emptying and litter collection 3000 Infrastructure repairs and maintenance (including 15000 installation of new equipment) Conservation Maintenance Activities 250 Tree Work 250
TOTAL 21300
The expectation is for revenue spending to continue at proportionately similar levels during 2011/12, but this is contingent on an as yet incomplete corporate budget setting process. The team will be provided with the 2011/12 budget information in March to enable them to plan in detail the expenditure over the period April 2011 to March 2012.
To date Portswood Rec has had the benefit of £120,000 of capital spend from Children’s Services and Learning, £23,000 of developer contributions and £10,000 of funding through landfill tax awards to move and improve the sports facilities, erect new fencing to reduce conflict with dogs and install new footpaths and move lighting. The Friends group also secured £2,000 towards the
- 16 – development of the community garden. A further £2,500 has been spent out of the Parks development fund to reconnect the water supply and install a standpipe.
Future funding will include £33,000 developer contributions which will be used to match fund further bids to enable the construction of the disabled ramp. As well as £2,000 from the parks development fund to complete some fencing where dog walkers have expressed a concern and would like the area secured.
1.6 Community Involvement
The Friends of Portswood Rec are recently formed (in 2010). However their parent group NBSP, the local residents group, took a leading role in consulting with the community from phase 2 of the improvements including the Community Garden, and in organising the One Big Community Festival event in the park.
The Friends group continue to campaign tirelessly to improve the park and continue to feed in to improvements needed in the park. There has been a huge amount of consultation organised by the Friends of Portswood Rec and officers from the local council to foster community engagement.
The friends have been very busy making improvements and are planning their activities for the year ahead. An update on their plans will be available to the judges at the site visit.

1.7 User Feedback
Southampton’s parks are frequently identified as one of the most important factors in making the city a good place to live. The most recent Place survey conducted by MORI in late 2008 indicated that overall satisfaction with parks and green spaces was 76%. This places Southampton in the top 25% of all local authorities.
Some of the feedback from customers over the last few years and our responses are shown in the table below.
You said We did We would like a community We worked with the group to produce a plan picnic area and assisted the group to successfully bid for funding of £2,000 which contributed to the construction of the garden. We want a more enclosed dog We are working towards altering the fence line area to enclose the area while still allowing access for vehicles for the events. We need better disabled We have opened up the Grosvenor Road access entrance and removed the tricky kissing gate. We are marking some of the car parking spaces for disabled parking. We are working with the residents group to bid for a disabled ramp to allow access from Brickfield Road and opening up the Kitchener Road entrance. Enclose the play area This is something we can do when funds allow. We want a barbeque facility. Development team are researching the best barbeques to suit public use.

Chapter 2 - Management Strategy
2.1 Vision
For Portswood Rec to lead the way as a Local Park, the focus of the neighbourhood and its regeneration. With the local community at its heart, working with the Park team to continually improve biodiversity, events, recreation and involvement to ensure the park continues to be clean, safe and accessible for all.
2.2 Aims Portswood Rec serves a wide range of functions for the local community and draws people in from further afield to use its facilities. It is a vital component to improving the overall environment within the area. The overall character of the park should be recognised and enhanced whilst maintaining and improving the individual components that make it unique. There are four broad aims for the management, in partnership, of Portswood Rec identified in accordance with the Green Space Strategy and other key city plans;
• Retain and enhance the distinctive quality of the park • Provide a park that meets and continues to meet user need, both locally and strategically through the objectives of the City Council • Interpret and promote the park to ensure the benefits it offers are maximised • Ensure the park is accessible to all elements of the community.
2.3 Specific Objectives for 2010/11 The following key objectives have been derived from the Green Space Strategy, the draft Neighbourhood Services business plan and customer feedback and provide a focus for management in 2010/11. Specific actions to address these objectives are identified in the action plan in section 3.4.
• Increase community involvement in the management and maintenance of the park by continuing to work closely with NBSP and The Friends of Portswood Rec. • To maintain and improve the unique character of Portswood Rec and enhance and interpret the varied biodiversity. • To increase customer satisfaction in Portswood Rec. • To provide and promote key events in the park, raising environmental awareness and increasing community involvement.

2.4 Management Structures The management and maintenance of Portswood Rec is the responsibility of the Parks and Street Cleansing (P&SC) team. The P&SC team is situated in the Neighbourhood Services Division of the Neighbourhoods Directorate. Since a recent reorganisation in April 2010, the Neighbourhood Services Division includes colleagues from the Active Communities, Stronger Communities and Safer Communities teams. The Parks & Street Cleansing Team includes the trees, parks development and natural environment teams.
Managers within Neighbourhood Services undertake MBWA (management by walking about) which includes visits to Portswood Rec. The parks operational and development management personnel meet bi-monthly to monitor the progress on implementation of the Green Space Strategy, and actions specific to the city’s principal green spaces. Objectives detailed within Portswood Rec action plan in section 3.4 are included within the relevant staff appraisal targets.
Play areas within Portswood Rec are managed by Play Services which is in the Children’s Services Directorate. However the day to day maintenance and cleaning of play areas is carried out by the P&SC team.
2.5 Green Spaces Policies Relating to Portswood Rec There are a number of operational and management policies covering green spaces and the whole city that have particular relevance to the park as detailed below.
2.5.1 Health and Safety All activities undertaken by the City Council in Portswood Rec are subject to risk assessment. The P&SC team has over 300 risk assessments in place covering the range of the teams work. Generic Risk Assessments are in the process of being put on the SCC intranet pages and are also held in the staff room at Red Lodge as hard copies. An example of a generic risk assessment can be found in appendix 2.
The play areas are inspected on a daily basis to ensure that equipment is safe and that the immediate area is suitably clean. Any faults are immediately reported to the city play area maintenance team. Neighbourhood Services Division are currently undertaking an appraisal of “mobile working” procedures, with a view to improve our working practices and make them more efficient. We are currently looking at software and hand held hardware that will enable us to carry out inspections and record the results without having to return to the Office. It is anticipated that this project should be complete during 2010/11 and will provide software to store information about play area within it.
Damage or maintenance issues regarding bins, seats and signs are reported during the daily check of the park by the on site staff. Any health and safety
- 20 – issues are dealt with immediately and other repairs are undertaken by staff as needed.
In addition to on site park staff, City Patrol and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) carry out patrols within the park to improve the perception of safety and provide a visible presence to deter anti-social behaviour.
2.5.2 Enviro-crime and cleanliness The Council has a proactive approach to the removal of graffiti and fly posters on land it manages. There is a specialist citywide two reactive team ready to respond to graffiti problems, prioritising racist or offensive material. Additionally protective coatings are applied to features regularly targeted facilitating rapid removal, and training and equipment is issued to key partners and community groups to enable them to tackle graffiti quickly.
A team of City Patrol Officers cover the whole of Southampton patrolling the streets, parks and open spaces seven days a week. During the day they deal with enviro-crime and issue fixed penalty fines for dog fouling, flytipping, graffiti and littering. This helps to reduce the negative impact of litter and dog fouling in particular. In the evening the role of City Patrol officers is geared towards dealing with anti-social behaviour, which can involve patrolling parks and green spaces.
2.5.3 Sustainability The Neighbourhood Services team recycles all green waste produced and this applies to the green arisings generated from Portswood Rec. Green waste from the park and surrounding areas is collected on site and shredded for use as mulch wherever possible. This mulch is used in the park to suppress weeds, condition the topsoil, and retain moisture and nutrients.
This approach reflects the parks team’s general policy in terms of waste disposal, which is to ensure waste is collected, processed and disposed of in as sustainable a way as possible, with minimum carbon emissions. In practice this means that where feasible green waste is directly recycled at the point of origin. Where this approach is not viable, as next best option green waste is taken to the council’s nearest main depot bay for shredding and then transfer to a composting site. All green waste generated within Portswood Rec is disposed of through these methods, either through chipping directly back onto the site of origin or for composting.
Presently all parks non-green waste is taken to a local energy recovery facility which recovers heat energy from waste. This heat energy is used to generate electricity for the National Grid. Therefore, of all the waste collected from Portswood Rec, it all gets recycled in some way.
The City Council has in place safe working procedures to ensure that all pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers are properly applied, and their use
- 21 – minimised. The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that all relevant legislation is followed and that records are properly kept and maintained. The Council aims to minimise the use of chemical products and actively seeks alternative approaches where possible. Should there be no alternative to chemical usage then products are selected from an approved list, preventing the use of environmentally unfriendly products.
2.5.4 Conservation and heritage It is important that the unique characteristics of Portswood Rec are maintained and that the local history is preserved where possible. It is also vital to continue the work to increase the biodiversity of the park that was started with the regeneration improvement works. The bank along the Northern boundary has been allowed to revert to a natural state. This offers opportunities for wildlife and dense cover suitable for nesting sites for garden birds taking advantage of feeding resources in the surrounding gardens. The Community Garden was designed to provide larval food plants and nectar sources for Moths & Butterflies, with a particular emphasis on Hawk Moths. These were chosen as their caterpillars are frequently large and bizarrely coloured and marked, offering a teaching resource for the neighbouring primary school as well as other residents. (See appendix for full plant to species list). The bunding around the park, which was installed to prevent traveller access, is also managed to encourage biodiversity through an annual cut of the grass.
A site specific Biodiversity Management Statement for Portswood Rec has been provided by the city ecologist;
- 22 –
Biodiversity Management Statement Site name: Portswood Rec Boundary: between Kitchener Road, Grosvenor Road, Brickfield Lane and Upper Shaftesbury Avenue. Area: 2Ha Neighbourhood area: Central Designation: None
Nationally Protected species: .No surveys have been undertaken, Great Crested newts were reported from the adjacent school wildlife garden before they were redeveloped.
Hampshire BAP species: No survey
Species Special in Southampton context / Community favourites: No survey
Other noteworthy species regularly recorded: No survey
Species recorded as occasional visitors/vagrants: No survey
Important habitats Much of the boundary is made up of relatively natural mixed hedge, including bramble that provides cover and food throughout the year. The south facing bank has potential for sunny loving species such as butterflies and slowworms. The “moth garden” provides nectar for insects.
Notes on Public use Potential conflict between wildlife interest of nutrient deficient grassland with nutrient enrichment from dog walking.
Community group stakeholders: Friends of Portswood Rec.
Major concerns for management: Except for the boundary hedge there is a lack of native species and those that do exist are pruned too heavily to allow them to flower and seed.
Management change opportunities that would benefit Biodiversity: Less intensive clearance to allow native flora to flower and seed. This could include planting of more useful species in the “moth garden” that would be used by species that actually occur in Southampton. Species such as teasel, evening primrose, lemon balm and knapweed provide flower during the summer and seed through the winter.
Community involvement opportunities: rotational coppicing of small areas of woody material on the south facing bank, including brambles and tree saplings to maintain sunny aspect. Under planting the shrub beds and woody corner with wildlife friendly native woodland plants such as violet and garlic mustard. Undertaking surveys to record biodiversity changes (particularly useful when filled in regularly as walk round the same route). Planting berry bearing trees/shrubs in the more ornamental areas
- 23 –
2.5.5 Marketing The council has adopted a ‘campaign’ method of managing communications to focus and prioritise marketing and to ensure consistent messages are given to the public. Several key campaigns have been identified which will include opportunities to promote Southampton’s parks. In particular the City Pride campaign - promoting park events, positive messages about our parks, improving perception; Volunteering campaign – promoting opportunities to get more involved in your local park and volunteer to help make improvements; Highlight green credentials campaign – the value of parks and green spaces in climate change alleviation and improving biodiversity. These campaigns will be high profile and will be used to deliver a number of key messages about all our Green Flag standard parks and will hopefully encourage more community involvement.
Two new notice boards have been installed in the park in the last year. These provide a large space for displaying park and community information. Plans are in place to develop the information within these signs to include a map and seasonal photographs and information. There will also be space for a regularly updated ‘what’s new in the park’ section that the P&SC team and the FOPR/NBSP groups can utilise.
Events are advertised in local press and in posters, leaflets and newsletters. Events in Portswood Rec will be used to promote the Friends of Portswood Rec and promote the park more widely encourage new members. More will be done in 2011 to better publicise the park, through the “One Big Community Festival” event.
2.5.6 Trees Southampton’s trees are regularly inspected following a nationally recognised scheme called the Southampton’s Tree Operational Risk Management System or STORMS for short. The inventory stage of STORMS is now complete and we now know that there are in the region of 100 trees, both individual and in groups in Portswood Rec. Inspections under this scheme look at hazard based on the likelihood that a tree will fail and if it did what target there is under it. The city is sectioned according to hazard rating and trees surveyed on a timeframe relating to their hazard rating. Therefore trees in Portswood Rec are subject to an inspection at least every four years, with high risk trees inspected every one to two years dependant on the target.

Chapter 3 - Actions and Recommendations
3.1 Measuring success and progress towards Green Flag criteria
We recognise our success from the completion of the points from the action plan as listed below.
Welcoming place • Following a review of signage, two new cabinets have been placed within the park. These are open to posts from community voluntary groups, clubs and societies and will provide basic information about the park, it’s features and nature. • The location of the park furniture was agreed in consultation with the Friends of Portswood Rec, and this included the draft designs and changes to the dog walking areas. • Access routes, entrances and facilities are being improved for use by those with physical disabilities.
Healthy, safe and secure • PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) have been patrolling the park and are working with local community groups to increase use of the park. • Regular meetings and consultations with on-site staff, residents, community associations, park users and the Friends of Portswood Rec have helped to establish key measures to deter vandalism and increase perception of safety.
- 25 –
• There is a much better feeling about the park and a sense of pride, as shown at public events.
Clean and well maintained • Listened to customer concerns. • Prompt removal and replacement of vandalised items. • The park is regularly cleaned and maintained by the area team. • Area team carries out all work in the park which helps with consistency of standards throughout Portswood Rec.
Sustainability • Chemical use in the park has been eliminated where possible. • Green waste is recycled and non-organic waste is incinerated to produce energy to be fed back into the National Grid.
Conservation and heritage • Banks around the perimeter of the park are maintained in a way to conserve and enhance the area’s natural biodiversity. • The Moth garden should attract Lepidoptera species and their predators as it matures. • Areas along the base of the south facing bank are to be left to grow longer to encourage wildlife to establish and wildflowers to seed naturally. . Community Involvement • The Friends of Portswood Rec have formed and in tandem with NBSP group are well organised and very much involved in the park’s continuing development. • The first “One Big Community Festival” was held and proved to be one of Southampton’s most successful community events yet. It is hoped that it will become an annual calendar fixture. • The group is currently bidding for external funding to pay for the much needed access ramp at the Brickfield Road entrance. If successful, the remaining capital funding can be spent on the range of other improvements put forward. If not, the urgently needed access ramp will absorb all the capital set aside for the park and limit the on-going improvements. Partnership working.
Marketing • Organisation of the “One Big Community Festival” by NBSP group drew in hundreds of people who might otherwise not have been aware of the park. It would be difficult to imagine a more effective marketing tool. • Council web pages updated to include more information about Portswood Rec.
- 26 –
Management • The Development team and Stronger Communities section have worked closely with the Parks and Street Cleansing team and Friends of Portswood Rec (FOPR) to improve the park for the whole community to enjoy. • Managers meet regularly with FOPR to discuss plans and issues for the park. • Held several meetings with staff to establish new management and working arrangements and to develop ideas for the future of Portswood Rec. • Engaged the Friends of Portswood Rec and staff working in the park with the Green Flag process and development of the Portswood Rec management plan.
3.2 Programme of events
The major event planned for 2011 is the ‘One Big One’! It is hoped that the “One Big Community Festival” will repeat its success and bring even more new visitors to the park as well as forging new links with local businesses and organisations. Other smaller events may be planned as the year progresses, dependent upon available council funds.
All events are publicised through the councils ‘what’s on’ web pages. Events are also listed in City View, the council’s monthly magazine that is distributed to all households. The Neighbourhood Services Team also produce a park events leaflet which includes Portswood Rec events.
3.3 Maintenance schedule
A typical day for the team in Portswood Rec involves a number of daily routine tasks;
• Early morning litter pick • Emptying litter bins • Play area inspection
- 27 –
• General check of the park – including inspections of seats, bins and signs. Any damage identified and reported for follow up inspections / repair / maintenance as required • Responding to queries from members of the public
In addition other maintenance tasks are; • Mowing (at various frequencies according to performance standards) • Seat and bin maintenance • Shrub bed maintenance.
During the winter when the amount of general maintenance is reduced the team are able to work on alterations and improvements to the park and surrounding areas.
The Portswood Rec team work to the Service Promises that set performance standards for maintenance of the park. Generally maintenance of Portswood Rec is based on performance standards rather than frequency measures. Details of these service promises and standards are available on request.
Equipment is maintained by the councils fleet transport team. There is a dedicated mower service section looking after the larger grass cutting equipment and minor maintenance is undertaken by the west area team as part of the daily equipment checking routines.

3.4 Action plan for 2010/15
This action plan is a dynamic working document that is reviewed and updated annually. Some proposed actions are aspiration and will depend upon sourcing adequate funding, in collaboration with the Friends of Portswood Rec. Although the plan has been ordered according to Green Flag criteria, several of the actions fall under more than one heading.

3.5 Friends of Portswood Rec Actions for 2011/12
Many of the actions in the action plan (section 3.4) were identified by the Friends of Portswood Rec. They have been involved in all the recent developments in the park and have aspirations for improving it further.
The friends are keen in particular to explore a BBQ area and are working with the council to improve DDA access to the park. They would also like to improve the play area and play provision for all ages. Other ideas include a shelter for the tennis courts and a dog awareness campaign in the spring. These aspirations are subject to securing additional funding. The main activity of the Friends will be in the organisation and planning of the One Big Community event in September.
