TO DISCUSS FURTHER A REQUEST MADE BY RESIDENTS OF NORTHFIELD AVENUE AND BROAD DALE CLOSE UNDER PARISHIONERS ITEMS AT THE MEETING OF THE PARISH COUNCIL HELD ON THURSDAY 6 JUNE 2024 FOR FUNDING FOR THE CLEAN-UP AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PIECE OF LAND BETWEEN THE CUL-DE-SAC AT THE BOTTOM OF NORTHFIELD AVENUE AND BROAD DALE CLOSE.
The Chairman welcomed residents to the meeting and opened up the discussion for them to outline their proposed plans for the area and a plan was submitted.
The residents outlined the objective:
Clear and rejuvenate the land between Northfield Avenue and Broad Dale Close, cutting dead and overgrown trees and shrubs back, clearing ivy and brambles, setting out the area as a garden with plants and bulbs and continuing with its maintenance. They acknowledged that this land was owned by the Parish Council but as it was in the centre of Northfield Park, close to homes and the open space area they would like to see it in a more tidy condition.
Members of the Parish Council agreed to support the residents with the project as finances would permit. It was to be noted that in accordance with advice from the Parish Council insurers the residents were asked to be cautious in the work carried out. Power tools should not be used by volunteers. In this connection the Parish Council would seek a price from its local Arborist for cutting back trees and shrubs.
The residents had looked into applying for grants for the project and through the Parish Council would apply to the District Councillors Initiative fund for £1000.00 towards funding of the project. Clerk and Treasurer to assist with completion of application form.
Councillor Paul Fido had agreed to be the liaison between the residents and the Parish Council.
That the above be agreed proposed by Councillor Mrs Tracey Bowman, seconded by Councillor Simon Crampton and Resolved.
