Update October 2007
With the support of Wessex Water, owner of the site, and the Parish Council, the signing of the 25 year lease for land at Cowleaze Meadow is about to take place. This will allow the creation of a public space in this area of Somerset wetland, and will provide benefits to the whole community, including the school.
A subcommittee formed by the Parish Plan steering group, lead by Debbie Welch, have produced an outline design for areas of woodland, orchard, wild flower meadow and seating. In consultation with Barbara Collier, South Somerset District Council’s tree planting project officer, a list of trees is being considered. The next practical work is to clear an area for placing the seats, and prepare the rest of the site for planting up next year. All volunteers are welcome-watch out for further information on working parties.
The next meeting for interested people is Tuesday 6th Nov, 8pm in the Duke of York
