What villagers think
Some 600 questionnaires were delivered via the Six Villages newsletter asking residents their views on the condition of the village Green. Of these 57 were returned (47 on paper and 10 by email) of which 46 people thought the Green looked better, four didn't and seven didn't answer the question.
The response was very positive concerning the grass cutting times and the paths with the emphasis on preserving wildlife and wild flowers. Pruning of trees, litter removal and sensitive upkeep of ponds were thought to be important. Villagers wanted to use the Green more for village activities including sport and approved of the combined litter/poo bins. One downside mentioned is the increasing wearing away of the Green by car parking, not just on the tracks but on the grass which in poor weather is increasing muddy erosion. A lot of people offered help for an organised tidy up, ongoing litter picking, sponsoring new trees, work around the ponds and putting posts on edges to discourage parking.
Please come along to the Annual Parish Meeting on Friday 13 April starting at 7.30pm in the Village Hall where you will have the chance to discuss these matters further.
