If you’ve got a toddler and you fancy raising a bit of money for Dr Barnardo’s, then come along to Chester Green on Monday 21st July. A group of toddlers will be toddling round the green with collection buckets and will be meeting at the play area at 10am. Do come along! More info (from the Dr. Barnardo’s site) can be found here.
We have been liaising with Derby Homes for the past fourteen months to try and get the area around the small car park in John Lombe Drive smartened up. We were expecting this to be carried out by September last year, but have now been informed that it will not be completed until 2009 when all the areas owned by Derby Homes in Chester Green will be looked at
We’ve been campaigning (for 18 months!) to get some fencing around the back of the pavilion piece to stop it getting vandalised. Some fencing has finally been put up. It’s not as substantial as we’d have hoped, but it’s a start!
The conservation area lighting on the Chester Green Road side of the green is to be put on the St. Pauls Road side of the green as well. The council have also promised lighting fit for a conservation area throughout Chester Green, although some of the lights seem to have been changed already, this seems to be in error the council are aware of…..watch this space!
After much behind the scenes work, the LCRA have managed to get the cycle path signs changed from the standard blue ones to signage designed for conservation areas. We think it looks much better!
