Hello Walpole Friends

I trust that you are all keeping snug and warm during this cold spell. Our parks looked lovely of course when the snow first fell but its looking a bit slushy now so I'll be glad to see it gone. I'm looking forward to the signs of spring now!.

Well done those of you who were able to come along to the council's meeting in January where they presented the Masterplan for Walpole Park. You will see that the plan is available through this website, by clicking on the Masterplan Walpole Pk Jan 2012 tag. You still have a chance to have your say and you are invited to do so by emailing the address given at the end of the presentation.

The works on the park will not begin until around September so be ready to see some substantial changes starting to take place at that time.

In the meantime, the council is recruiting the new Park Manager and Education Officer and will be selecting all the contractors needed to carry out these works.

The main area of excitement is the Rickyard, to which you will see a vast improvement, allowing a great deal more volunteering opportunities if you want to get involved with working in the local community. We are to have a volunteers' room - great idea - where we can make tea and coffee and eat our sandwiches together whilst we chat.
