PrOPO sEd CoMMuNITY GARDEN

Behind the Methodist Church on Queens Road there is a sizeable piece of land owned by the Church that has been unused for a number of years and the Church is proposing that it could become a Community Garden. The Church does not have the human resources to develop this project and then manage it and is therefore proposing that it be a joint project with the community. To try and move this idea forward, a public meeting has been arranged to take place at the Church on May 31st at 7.00 pm to which any interested party or person in the community is invited.

It is envisaged that the space could become an ecological project that enhances biodiversity and pollination, including raised-allotment beds, a sensory tranquillity area with wildflower beds and seating. The Town Council is supportive of this project and it is hoped that Councillors who will have been recently elected to serve on the Town Council and B&NES will also be able to attend.

So, if you are an individual or belong to an organisation in the area and you are interested in the idea of this project, then please come along to the meeting to offer your thoughts and possibly your help.
