Important information!

On Saturday 24th Jan, the Friends laid out their thinking about how problems concerning , ecology, biodiversity, water run off and silt run off could be tackled. We have engaged Groundwork UK to look at the park and come up with some possible solutions. The Landscape Architects and Hydrologist involved are working out costed suggestions as to what could be done.

The proposals are just that. Nothing is decided and no work will be happening soon BUT we will have a set of ideas and an understanding of the cost. Money wise, there is no intention of trying to press the local authorities into paying for this. The very ball park figure is around £200,000. The intention is to create a funding bid to try to obtain the required amount.

The Friends have not just plucked these ideas out of thin air. Just to get to this point has taken around 2 years of hard work and £6,000. We are under no illusion as to how difficult it will be to obtain the funds and we need your help. Whilst a benefactor with £200,000 would be great, in reality, what we need is evidence that the community know what is happening, have had a chance to discuss the suggestions and have had their say. PLEASE send your comments to membersoffopwp@gmail.com, comment on the Facebook page, chat to us in the park or come along to displays we are setting up like the one in Damart last Saturday 24th Jan.

We really do want to hear from you. There is much more detail in the documents attached. Click on the buttons to see.
