Managing and Maintaining open spaces, events and transport
Downend & Bromley Heath Parish Council acts for the benefit of the local community.
The Parish Council is represented on many local organisations and management bodies, and closely liaises with South Gloucestershire Council on all parish matters, including planning applications.
We support local organisations and contribute to the care of public rights of way. We give grants to local organisations, support local groups and 'Friends' groups, and detached youth work. In conjunction with neighbouring parishes and South Gloucestershire Council, we support a night bus through the area.
We manage and maintain the local skateboard park at Bromley Heath, in addition to all the local bus shelters, some seating, litter bins and dog bins - further details can be found in the specific section for each committee opposite.
In addition to this website, newsletters are produced three times per year to keep local residents informed.
Pomphrey Hill Pavilion Turf Cutting
A new pavilion at Pomphrey Hill, Mangotsfield, is now under way and the Chairman of the Parish Council, Councillor Elizabeth Shepherd, attended the Turf Cutting Ceremony performed by Councillor Shirley Holloway, Chair of South Gloucestershire Council, on 6 April (see photos attached).
Facilities at Pomphrey Hill will service the larger community, providing not only changing rooms and showers, but also a gymnasium for a boxing and wrestling club, as well as a larger room for wider community use. Downend & Bromley Heath Parish Council has pledged money over a three year period towards this project.
