News Update - a message

Hi Everyone

Those of you who were able to attend our last working party in September, will know that we were told then that we could only do litter picking on that day and at all future meetings. Since then we have emailed a number of people within the Council, and have finally learnt that CBC have to make severe cut backs and have no staff or budget to continue to support the group. We have tried, very hard, to change their decision but it is impossible at present.
We have therefore, and with great sadness, come to the conclusion that the only thing to do is to mothball the group until such time as the Council decision can be reversed. We say mothballed because the reversal is unlikely to happen for at least a year or three.

As my husband was involved with the original set up in 2009, this is a great personal sadness for me, but looking back I think this has been on the cards for longer than the Covid pandemic so our decision is the right one.

With kind regards

Peta. Chair FoBP

Thank you

A great big THANK YOU to all involved with work in the park to keep it clean and tidy for all to enjoy !
