Issue - meetings

Please bring ideas for future visits.

Ideas for future site visits included:

• Crown Estate; £250,000 would be invested in bike trails here and Forum members may be interested to see how the trails would be constructed
• Jennett’s Park; tree planting and creation of new footpaths
• Shepherd Meadows; bank restoration, a possible site visit in Spring 2013
• South Hill Park; new waymark trails, floating pond to be assembled by end of March 2013
• Jealott’s Hill Farm; Forum members were invited to visit the farm
• Broadmoor/ Foresters Way

It was suggested that the Jennett’s Park site visit be organised first. Saturday morning appeared to be a good time for a site visit and dates would be circulated soon for this.

John Deakin would be contacted regarding the possibility of a Crown Estate visit.

Bad weather and some issues with workmanship had affected the bank restoration at Shepherd Meadows and it was suggested that this site visit should be postponed until at least autumn 2013 after follow up work had been undertaken. The Jealott’s Hill Farm visit would also be weather and season dependent.

A new suggestion for a site visit was Broadmoor/ Foresters Way to look at issues arising from work undertaken here and how rights of way had been affected. A contact would be sought in the NHS for this visit with the aim of organising the visit later in the year.
