Very positive feedback from the participants of the PC sponsored exercise classes. People also suggested other possible groups – Walking and Grow your own Veg. The information on the feedback forms also reflected the positive attitude from the Locals for an outdoor Gym, and this can be submitted to the YMCA as support for our Grant application.

  1. Planting etc updates

The picnic benches need repairing – the roots need removing out of the Church hedge and the waste land needs clearing – the Clerk suggested that we approach the ELDC group called Pride – after they completed clearing the briars in the churchyard very successfully.
