YOUTH SHELTER
The Youth Shelter is situated in Prestbury Road Playing Field and was erected in response to requests from youngsters for a place where they could gather to meet their friends. The design of the shelter was chosen to enable its use to be extended for all age groups using the Playing Field and facilities.
COMMUNITY PRIDE FUNDING
The Youth Shelter was the latest example of joint co-operation between Prestbury Parish Council and Cheltenham Borough Council. In September 2010 the Parish Council was granted 50% of the cost of the shelter from Cheltenham Borough Council's Community Pride Fund with the Parish Council making up the other 50%.
Another example of this joint funding was the erection of the Multi-Use Games Area on the Playing Field in June 2008 and May 2009 having been done in two stages, both funded via the Community Pride scheme.
Cheltenham Borough Council also co-funded the Children's Play Area on the Playing Field in 2001.
