Since the last Focus a plan of action has been agreed to finally resolve the long running issue of managing this open space.   A process has been agreed to select a community based organisation to manage the land once the land has been transferred to the Council’s ownership.   

The Council has recently advertised for interested organisations to make a bid based on a draft Management Plan.   To ensure that there is a long term benefit for the community, organisations will need to show that they can maintain and improve the natural habitat, encourage community involvement and improve disabled access.

In the interim, Council Officers are working with the Taylor Wimpey to ensure that the area remains safe.

Any work carried out needs the permission of the landowner
