We have put in an application with the ward committee's to get a grant to stage the fete next year. Cross fingers. We are also looking at raising other money to help develop the green in some other ways. Some ideas talked about are:

Planting a native hedge all the way around the green

Creating a wild flower bank on the banking area (currently just long grass)

Planting bulbs and more shrubs

There does seem to be a lot of lottery money out there and so we just need to get organised in order to try and access it.

We will be having another meeting in the next few weeks at the Sun pub overlooking the green. All are welcome to come along.

We are having our next meeting at the Sun pub on14th Sep at 7pm (monday).

At the meeting will be Emma Keef who will chat about involving the Green and the local community in an arts project. There is potential funding of £2000.

We are still waiting on the Ward committee grant application as well.

Latest update:

We are still confident of raising the money to stage a fete this summer. We have been granted £500 so far by one ward are are awaiting to see if we get another £300. The parks department will make up the rest needed to put on the fete.

We have been awarded £2000 by the arts committee to have a sign made up identifying the green as "Acomb Green" because nothing like this is out there at the moment.

A lot more local people have expressed an interest in helping the group and an audit has taken place with the parks department to see what improvements we can make on the green. Examples are: more trees, bulb planting, new park benches, improved policing in the summer months.
