New paths in the park.
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BID BY FRIENDS OF CHERRY ORCHARD PARK!
We have been awarded £27,500.
We have been awarded £27,500.
Work started in January 2020 on the all-weather footpath from the car park to the bridleway, allowing people with mobility problems and families with prams or strollers better access to the park. The final layers of fine stone were laid and rolled in mid April 2020. This was a great result when we consider that February and March had so much rain!
Thanks go to our committee member Matt, for managing the successful bid, to Richard for managing the contract, to contractors Go Green for an excellent job, and to RDC for supporting and contributing to the project.

The natural meadow will be allowed to grow longer along the edge of the path and wild flowers will be encouraged. This should also encourage a natural 'bee corridor' through the park. It will also be another task for our Conservation Volunteers, who will be able to stop the meadow encroaching on to the path. All good!
