Last summer I met with ANSA officers to discuss our ideas and aspirations for the park. The resulting masterplan is intended to show how the park might evolve over the next few years. The proposed improvements are likely to cost in the region of £100,000 and therefore by necessity they will be introduced gradually, as and when funding becomes available.
The Parish Council have considered the masterplan and will be feeding back with their own thoughts and priorities, with Cllr Bev Chapman commenting “we are determined to improve our green spaces and to support the village environment, as well as encouraging biodiversity; however, we recognise that getting this right is going to take time and cost money. We want a park that is fit for our community.”
In addition to ensuring improvements to the bowling green, the introduction of more seating and a new noticeboard in the park, the Parish Council is keen to support an initiative by the Alderley Edge in Bloom group to introduce a Community Orchard in the grassed area between the railway line and the footpath leading down from the steps near to the park entrance.
Before going back to ANSA with our comments on their proposals, we would like to invite residents to share with us their feedback and aspirations for the park. Please use the comments box below to leave your suggestions, which we will collate and then report back to ANSA by the end of January.”
