Has it really been so long since our last post? As so much has happened since the spring of 2008 this may be the reason why. As the Parish Plan nears completion, one of our actions is to keep our communication channels up to date. So, as chief blogger, it’s now time to do just that.
This autumn is going to be busy and it started last Wednesday 14 October with the Meriden Duck Pond project coming to fruition. This was a true partnership effort. Susan East, our Neighbourhood Co-ordinator from Solihull Council worked with her colleagues Trish Willetts, Environment Champions Co-ordinator, Lorna Teager, Streetcare Officer and Neil Cameron, Park Ranger to bring together the clean up of the pond with Meriden Primary School and Npower. Npower’s finance team volunteered to do most of the hard work on the day such as painting benches, clearing debris and posting our new information panel on the local wild fowl and safe ways to feed birds.
Meriden Primary School’s Eco Club joined them during the day to plant spring flowering bulbs and with the help of the park rangers, hang their bird boxes which the rangers helped them make.
Susan will be sending us more photographs and as soon as we have them, they’ll be posted on our blog.
