Pond
One of the outcomes of the Enablement Project was to produce the
plans to develop the pond. Due to the logistics of the heavy
machinery needed and the small seasonal development window we have
chosen this as our fist project to tackle.We are exited by these
plans, we took feedback from the community and coupled with our
enthusiasm the Landscape Architect has designed a pond that
will:
- Sustain Wildlife all year round
- Provide a safe beach area to pond dip and maintain the
pond
- A bridge to the 'island' allowing easier access
- Part clearance of the 'island' to allow safe exploration
The pond will need to be partly excavated to stop it from
draining into the swales surrounding the park with detrimental
effects on water levels within the pond. The plans do include
saving the yellow Iris that is currently in the pond and
re-planting it.
Project Progress
We have identified a grant to apply to and have invited
contractors to provide quotes. We need three quotes to be
able to complete our application for grant funding.
