With regards to events in the park, due to the current Government guidelines, all activities are cancelled. This includes football, bowls, croquet, cricket etc until further notice. The maintenance of these areas is still programmed in, but there must be some understanding that in this time of crisis, operational teams may be asked to help other service areas to retain business continuity. Events are also cancelled we are not accepting bookings until a review in July. This is a corporate decision to safeguard communities.

There are lots of documents on the Cheshire West and Chester website if you need more info and updates.

All council staff are currently working flat out to try and keep some form of normality and we will continue to update you on your queries. But, until further notice, there will be no events that encourage groups to gather, and social distancing is the Council’s priority at present, and until further notice.

Due to social distancing, the Volunteer Day on 25 March 2020 has been cancelled.  Hopefully we will be able to resume activities later in the year.

Calling all FoWP volunteers!

We are arranging another FoWP Volunteer Day for Wednesday, 25 March from 10.00 to 15.00. This date will coincide with the planting of a number of trees across the park by a group of Lloyds Bank volunteers in association with the Woodland Trust.

Our FoWP volunteers, working in small groups, will provide a Spring tidy-up to the park, including clearing some of the pathways, cutting back overhanging branches and bushes, litter picking and “painting” the balustrade around the patio area by the café.

If you could help, would you let Sue Britton know, and on the day bring along any appropriate tools (wheel barrows, hoes, clippers, secateurs etc.).

Look forward to seeing you then. Initially we’ll meet at the Golf Shop/ Cafe but drop in any time and find us working in the park.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Telford

CWaC have an opportunity to do the hedge lowering around the park. This is to advise residents and users that cutting may start as early as week commencing 10th February and the height of the hedge will be 8 foot. This will make for easier future maintenance.
