Initial Ideas

Allotment Ideas - On the edge of Clothall Common in Baldock, there is an empty, and overgrown field that could be put into use as something more. It could be cut down and made into allotments, this would target mainly the older generation as somewhere to go, plant vegetables, fruit and plants, and this could create some kind of community, there could be small sheds built and maybe a small club/coffee area to have a drink and a biscuit in.



Community Centre - This is very run down in Baldock, it's not as nice or as promoted as it should be. It is used for small sportsd clubs and parties occasionally, but no one really goes there. It could be more of a cafe place, and have more of a community, like it should have.

Church Gardens - around St.Mary's church the area is pretty run down, although most of the gravestones are very old, the surroundings could be better. We thought that putting in a flower garden and getting the community to help plant flowers around the church and the church walls would make it look more caring and pretty. This could be a chance for the local community to get together and support the church and also puts more hope into the area.

Youth Club - In Baldock there isn't anywhere for teenagers to go, there is only parks and public spaces such as the high street and around Tesco. This intimidates other kids, and adults or the elderly, so having somewhere for them to go and hang out would be a good idea. we were thinking they could transform the Baldock Museum which is in the centre of Baldock to something with pool tables or air hockey and couches to make somewhere for any teenagers to hang out in. the Baldock museum is very rarely used and doesn't have much in it at all, so could have the facilities of a youth club, as well as the original stuff.

Scout hut - This isn't too run down, but it couldpotentially be re-furbished or re-painted to look better inside and outside. There could be some new equipment put in it, for the kids and for parties, this would attract more people.
