Open space on corner of Woodhead Drive and Milton Road

The state of the open space just on the corner of Woodhead Drive and Milton Road was drawn to my attention in the summer holidays.

Since then I've got several people at the City Council to investigate and work towards turning this rather unpleasant space into an asset.

Last Thursday the City Rangers arranged a visit by the Community Payback team to cut back and tidy up the area and the result is stunning:That had been all overgrown and full of litter before last Thursday.

Today I had an email telling me that the land will soon be transferred into the ownership of the City. The next step is to find some way of making it even nicer.

So...

First, big thanks to the Rangers and everyone else for the help so far.

Secondly if anyone knows of similar projects elsewhere in King's Hedges we can out the Payback team on then the Rangers (and the team!) would be keen to know.

Finally, If you have any ideas for the area we'd be keen to hear from you. When the transfer is complete I hope to arrange a public meeting.
