Common Land and Roadside Verges

 

It has been suggested that we should tidy up and improve some of the grass and wooded areas in the village.

 

Some of the areas that have been discussed are as follows:

 

·         The roadside verge and ditch adjacent to the School running between Troquain House and The White House.

 

·         The Common Land and ditch between the road edge and the property boundaries opposite the School running between The Lea and the pumping station adjacent to Acorns.

 

·         A small area around the Horticultural Society seat situated on Pilcot Green North, near to the access road to Pilcot Farm, thus making the seat more accessible and useable.  The seat will also need cleaning and treating with suitable oil or preservatives.

 

It has been suggested that some of this work could be undertaken by residents volunteering to join a work party and working together for the good of the village.

 

If you are interested in helping to carry out any of this work, either individually or as part of a work party please will you contact the Parish Clerk and let her know of your availability, skills and equipment available.  clerk@dogmersfieldparish.co.uk

 

Once the initial work has been completed it will be necessary to regularly maintain the areas to ensure that they do not deteriorate again.

 

The alternative is for the Parish Council to budget for and pay a contractor to carry out the work.  .  This could, in future years, add an average of about £10 to the Parish Precept part of your Council Tax for each dwelling in the village. 

 

Please let us know what you think.  We look forward to hearing from you.
