Site Visits

Minutes:

Forum Members considered the following site visits:

 

  • The Crown Estate; visit to see new bike trails would be postponed until the autumn.
  • Jennett’s Park; creation of new footpaths. It was suggested that this site visit be combined with a visit to Tarman’s Copse, Garden’s Copse and Wykery Copse, the latter being a SSSI woodland with managed access.
  • South Hill Park; new waymarked trails. This site visit was of interest to members and it was suggested that it be combined with conservation restoration of sites and / or tied in with Heritage Open Days. Rose would investigate the possibility of this further.

  • Jealott’s Hill Farm; Forum members invited by Innes McEwan (at previous meetings) to visit the farm. The aim was for this visit to be arranged at the next meeting of the Forum.
  • Broadmoor/ Foresters Way; possible affect of new hospital access road to the PROW network. This visit would need to be investigated before being undertaken to decide which route to take.
