Description

Hayle Town Council is seeking a contractor to deliver site preparation/remediation of land, design and construction of a Community Garden. The Hayle Terrace Community Garden project aims to transform the former Hawkins Motor Site, a disused and contaminated area, into a vibrant, sustainable community garden. Located at a strategic point in Hayle, this new green space will serve as a central hub, connecting the Copperhouse and Foundry areas and act as a gateway to the new development at North Quay. The garden will be a focal point for the community, offering a serene environment for residents and visitors to relax, connect with nature, and enjoy the surrounding views, particularly Copperhouse Pool. The site currently consists of concrete and bitmac, with underlying contamination issues identified through a detailed soil analysis. To ensure the safety and suitability of the site for public use, we are commissioning a comprehensive remediation strategy once we have an agreed design for the garden. This will involve the removal and treatment of contaminated soil, followed by a verification report to confirm that the site meets environmental safety standards. Once remediation is complete, the site will be developed into a sustainable garden that reflects the unique character of Hayle. The design will focus on native and drought-resistant planting, promoting biodiversity and creating a resilient green space that can thrive with minimal maintenance. The garden will include seating areas, walking paths, and designated viewing points that allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of Copperhouse Pool and the surrounding landscape. In addition to the natural features, the garden will be equipped with street furniture that aligns with the design language of the Hayle Masterplan, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout the town. This will include benches, waste bins, and signage, all designed to be both functional and in keeping with the area's historical and cultural context. The garden will offer numerous benefits to the local community. As an accessible green space in a central location, it will provide a much-needed area for recreation, relaxation, and social interaction. The garden will serve as an outdoor classroom, where local schools and community groups can learn about environmental stewardship, native plants, and sustainable gardening practices. By creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, the project will foster a sense of community pride and ownership, enhancing the overall quality of life for residents. Full information about the project scope and deliverables is available via the briefing document and accompanying appendices.
