    "description": "The Collett Park Gateway project is an opportunity to reconfigure the park\u0027s western gateway making a fresh and exciting contribution to the town. Shepton Mallet Town Council (SMTC) wish to appoint a design team to work collaboratively to\nbring imaginative, sustainable design to this pivotal site.\nImproving the arrival to this important public park will enhance users experience and attract greater footfall to the park year round, serving a growing local population. It will provide an attractive caf\u00e9 and amenities with good indoor,\noutdoor connectivity between spaces. It will improve accessibly and active travel connections marking the beginning of the extended Strawberry Line the cycle route and multi user path to Wells and Clevedon.\nThe project is led by a working party of Town Councillors and should continue to be informed by active stakeholder and public engagement.\nProject Aims\n\u2022 To improve the facilities at the park, providing better experience for park users and residents.\n\u2022 To support economic regeneration encouraging greater footfall to the town through the year.\n\u2022 To make the park gateway more attractive, accessible and sustainable.\n\u2022 To support people\u0027s health and well-being, bringing people in contact with one another and nature.\n\u2022 To mark the beginning of the Strawberry Line enabling active travel and recreation.\n3.2 Project Outcomes\nThe proposed indoor and outdoor spaces should maximise the potential of the site, creating a renewed sense of place whilst contributing to character, natural beauty and heritage of the park in an inclusive, fresh and innovative way. Proposals should\ninclude:\n\u2022 A safer, more welcoming, accessible and well-connected park entrance that reflects the significance of the park in the town and is attractive to passers-by.\n\u2022 Modern and accessible toilets that meet the needs of the volume and diversity of park users, that may if feasible, include a Changing Places standard room. The toilets should operate separately from the caf\u00e9 and be able to be locked remotely to extend opening hours.\n\u2022 Improved caf\u00e9 appearance and function with the capacity to also serve outdoor/  takeaway refreshments at busy times of the year. Options to include as feasible:\n\u003e An updated, expanded kiosk with a covered outdoor area.\n\u003e An indoor space for around ten to fifteen covers.\n\u003e An area to be used as a community space e.g. for small meetings, workshops or events at quieter times.\n\u2022 Tool storage and a small vehicle garage for the maintenance team. Store for four commercial refuse and three wheely bins.\n\u2022 Collett Park and Strawberry Line signage.\n\u2022 The re-siting of existing amenities as needed such as; the water fountain, existing park signs and defibrillator.\n\u2022 The potential to develop areas of soft landscape elements with the park community over time.\n\u2022 A welcoming space for cyclists at the beginning of the Strawberry Line with improved cycle connections from the Strawberry Line to Park Road and the town centre.\nThe building and outdoor spaces should be robust and sensitively lit and become part of the regular maintenance of the park. It is likely that the cafe will continue to be leased by an operator and not run by the Town Council.\nOutline Programme\nJan Feb 2026 Design Team Appointed\nFeb / April 2026 RIBA Stage 2, Develop Concept Design \u0026 Make Pre-Application Enquires\nMay / June 2026 Visualise possibilities and engage the public.\nJuly / Oct 2026 RIBA Stage 3 \u0026 Planning Application\n2027 RIBA Stage 4 and Tender \u0026 Start on Site.",
