Repair and Improve infrastructure directly effected by events - Adelaide Wall
From "Where should event profits go locally?"
Go to the project
There is no doubt that Hove Lawns is drawing a lot of income from big events, yet the surrounding areas in Brunswick Town are totally run down.
Any improvements that have been made are completely down to the local groups through volunteer hours and fundraising. We see this looking at Palmeira and Adelaide gardens, also Brunswick gardens.
I propose that funding is used to restore and paint the Adelaide ramps and balustrades. These are grade 2* listed council assets, and are in a terrible state of repair.
When the many concerts and marathons are held on Hove Lawns, this wall in effect become bleacher seats, and become more damaged as a direct result of the events. They are not intended for people to stand and dance on, yet when there are concerts and the marathons run, that is exactly what happens.
For this reason, I think money from events should be used to repair and improve this heritage infrastructure
i expect the cost would be upwards of £15,000, and increases each year they are neglected. And damaged further.
