Ashford Borough Council (ABC) is inviting local businesses to join forces in shaping the future of Conningbrook Lakes Country Park. The council is conducting a “soft market testing” exercise to gauge interest in developing the site and contributing to its long-term vision.
Conningbrook Lakes is poised to become a premier destination, offering a harmonious blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. ABC aims to enhance the park’s facilities and amenities while preserving its tranquil atmosphere and ecological value.
To ensure that the park’s development aligns with its goals, the council is seeking input from interested parties. Any proposals must be mindful of the park’s natural heritage and contribute to its overall appeal.
Cllr Kate Walder, portfolio holder for parks and recreation said:
“Conningbrook Lakes is a wonderful place to visit and enjoy. We want to know if there are any local businesses who would like to work with ABC and partners to be part of the site’s exciting future, so we are undertaking a soft market testing exercise to see what interest there might be.”
“It’s important to note that any proposals brought forward would be subject to consideration by the council. We are not bound by them, and they are not necessarily going to be granted. We are just looking for potential interest and ideas to come forward at this point.”
