I'm a member of Lower Stannington Community Forum which is an community organisation that is working to improve the lives of its residents. One of the things we are currently working on is improving the green space around us. We are therefore looking for people who can bring skills that will help us create a development plan for these areas. Of particular interest are local artists, sculptors, landscape designers, environmentalists, wildlife & ecology experts and horticultorists.

These people are required in the consultation excercise to help people envisage what the planned space will look like and what is possible. The focus for the consultation will be very much with the children & youth of the area and we hope to get the local schools involved. We also want the area to be accessible for disabled children/adults, therefore input from these people is welcome.

It is our hope that we can provide a space that will be useful for everyone and include elements such as play areas, sensory gardens, wildlife areas etc.

If you are willing to help could you please PM me your name, stating what skills you bring and a contact telephone number or email address. Again input is especillay welcome from the disabled, so do you have a child with a physical or mental disability who would like to help us.

Regards

Mark
