Parish Council Initiatives to Improve the environment.

The Parish Council have a duty to consider the environment in all of their activities.

Here are the projects and initiatives that are ongoing:

  • Planting wild flowers on some of the grass verges.
  • We have stopped cutting the meadow grass at the Dell in the recreation ground. This is the fifth year for this initiative and the wild flowers are returning along with the insects and butterflies.
  • We will survey all trees on Parish Council Land to establish what trees we have and where we can plant more.
  • We fully support the ‘Community Fridge’ project which reduces food waste and helps the community.
  • We are putting together management plans for the pond and Riverside Walk to improve them for flora and fauna.
  • We have agreed to change all our soduim street lights for LED lanterns
  • From April 2021 all of the electricity for our street lights will be from a renewable source.
  • 91% of our Councillors have agreed to have email documentation for meetings rather than paper copies
