| This is an area badly need of protection and care. The Charnwood Wildlife have devised a management plan to achieve this which has not received universal agreement. The bluebells are however about to bloom whilst serious threats still exist from people causing criminal damage. This threat extends to Burleigh College playing fields. The Neighbourhood Watch Group has been extremely effective in reporting incidents and ensuring action. In Juy 2020, together with Cllr Paul Boldrin and other residents I have submitted a Report to Charnwood identifying works that we feel need immediate attention. | |
| This is another area which concerns me. It is a well used path and a sensitive area which
needs careful natural management.
We have now achieved a better (not perfect) cleansing regime but now we are faced with ever higher growing hawthorn. This will have to be cut sometime, perhaps layered, causing a drastic, though temporary, change in outlook. In the longer term the Borough has this marked out in the Borough Local Plan as a cycle route from Pitsford Drive all the way to town. Before this happens I have called for the fullest consultation. Whether the surface is gravel or tarmac, lit or unlit and how it is maintained are all important questions. |  |
