Summary

Our new project is to reclaim land that runs alongside the tree line and road embankment that currently floods, is overgrown, an eye sore and would make an excellent area for a new slabbed pathway, for a community growing group sowing wildflowers, plants, fruit, which would also aid access to the sports fields, outside dressing rooms and viewing area. equally benefitting, disability users, families with pushchairs and help with the independency of many making this area fully accessible to more

Description

We are looking to apply for this project under the Green Projects under the locality PB scheme. We have a substantial area that we are looking to repair and manage with a working party to completely clear, level off, install some drainage, landscape and regenerate this area for wildflowers and make a positive impact on the natural environment. This area will have a new footpath installed to make this new area fully reusable, for everyone including young families and people with disability. Old pallets and containers would be recycled to make planting areas. We have around £800 raised to this project which will contribute to the overall costs of £1650. The labour would be provided by the club as this will help the members appreciate the work needed to regenerate an area, replenish the environment and leave it in a situation where it will continually grow and prospect with minimal input from machinery. Unfortunately we need to drain the area where a good proportion of the costs would go to drainage pipes and aggregate allowing water to drain and be utilised in this area correctly. We would repurpose slabs from the bowling area to this new area to allow full access alongside this embankment. When this area is complete this will be a place where nature will quickly reclaim and break up this dull car park area and will give it a better purpose. We hope to have this area ready late February/March 2025.
