Desire to see new accessible
wildlife habitats established |
This issue was highlighted during the
consultation period as a major contributor
to improving and sustaining the quality of life within the Parish.
More than half of
respondents thought the Parish
would benefit from the establishment of new wildlife habitats with
public access in the form of woodland/copses or a wildflower meadow.
Just under half of respondents wanted a pond.
Many respondents to the Questionnaire
cited this type of activity as being a suitable use of some of the
legacy bequeathed to the community by the late Margaret Alleway. |
Conduct feasibility study. |

General appearance of the villages
and their approaches |
The majority of parishioners wanted
roadsides kept litter-free, protected from vehicle damage and mown as
now although a considerable number wanted them managed for wildlife.
Nearly half of respondents were in
favour of more tree-planting.
Just under a third would like to have
‘welcoming’ village signs erected. |
These wishes
should be communicated to Highways (County Council) to ensure the
verges were continued to be managed for the welfare of wildlife
wherever it was safe to do so.
Investigate opportunities for tree
planting.
Investigate
feasibility and cost of providing village signs and consult
parishioners further. |
