Share your ideas for a new community hub
How can we improve The Ridings?
Chipping Sodbury Town Trust wants The Ridings to be a place for people to get together and get active for generations to come.
The sports club buildings and facilities need to be updated so we want to hear from people in the community to find out:
How we can improve the facilities
What other activities you’d like to see at The Ridings
How a new community hub could support local football and rugby clubs, and community groups
Our plans for improved sports and community facilities are at an early stage and we want to hear from local people, sports clubs and community groups to find out how you would like to use a new community hub on The Ridings.

What’s being planned?
To support the future of The Ridings, we want to:
Create a new community hub, with space for events and classes
Upgrade the existing sports facilities
Help the long-term financial security of local sports clubs
Protect the existing copse and improve planting and habitats
Supporting the future of The Ridings
To support improved indoor sporting facilities and a new community hub, the Chipping Sodbury Town Trust is exploring the potential to release land at the top of The Ridings, behind the existing sporting grounds, for new homes that are in keeping with the local area and community.
Discussions with a potential partner for the community hub and homes are at an early stage. The local community would have the opportunity to share feedback on proposals for any new homes as part of a public consultation before a planning application is submitted.
