Dear Hannah,
Thank you for your project application idea, the project concept will contribute towards improving local community environment and safety. This project was taken to the North Area Committee 13/11/2023 for consideration within the funding and criteria for EIP area funding. Following North Area Committee consideration and Officer recommendations this area project was then approved by the Executive Councillor for Openspaces and City Services to a value of £3,000. However please note this is only to deal with one entrance (nearest to the roundabout) where it is deemed the safety need is greatest and on land within the City councils ownership. An assigned Project Lead - Council Officer, will contact you as soon as resources allow in early 2024 in regards their resourcing programme for working in partnership to bring the project forward towards implementation. It would be helpful for initial liaison if you as the project applicant could send me your details (email address) so with your consent I can pass these onto the assigned project lead, please send to james.ogle@cambridge.gov.uk
Regards
Improve biodiversity and safety for children and dogs at Chesterton Rec
From "Environmental Improvement Programme 2023-24: New bidding round"
Go to the project

Proposed budget
GBP 3,000
Description
There are two openings to Chesterton Rec which open directly onto the narrow pavement of Elizabeth Way, which is a busy road. There are no gates so it would be easy for children or dogs to run straight out into the road.
One could still be kept as open access but with a fence like has been used on Davey Road by Coleridge Rec or with some planting, such as a hedge.
The other one closer to the bridge could have some planting alongside the path.
The Rec has a lovely playground and toilets and is used by many residents so it would also be good to add some new planting such as a wildflower patch.
