A public meeting has been held at Cressingham gardens estate, attended by residents, members of the TRA and one of our local councillors, Marcia Cameron. This meeting followed an estate-wide consultation exercise, in which residents were invited to give their views on a number of possible projects.
Everone who attended the meeting is keen to move forward with community gardens on the Estate. Two schemes have been chosen to start with. The first is a scheme whereby residents of Hambridge Way look after their gardens collectively. The younger, and more able residents will assist those who are less able to manage, and all crops will be shared between them all.The second scheme involves a public area, which is a raised bed at the south end of the estate, at the corner of Hardel walk. This raised bed surrounds an area that lets light into the garage area. The bed currently has a number of shrubs, some self-seeded saplings, and some Japanese Knotweed.
