Dear Milly,
Thank you for your project application idea, the project concept will contribute towards improving local community environment and biodiversity. 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 £1,000. 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
Raised Beds on Hazelwood Close
From "Environmental Improvement Programme 2023-24: New bidding round"

Proposed budget
GBP 600
Description
The west end of Hazelwood Close has been designated as a happy bee street. The volunteers would like raised beds on the patch of grass where Hazelwood Close meets Molewood Close, so we could fill them with shade-loving plants. This corner is near a bin and can collect some rubbish, and the tree has been spray painted, so it could do with a bit of love. Right now the grass provides very little in the way of biodiversity or visual interest. The tree is very nice, but its dense root system means that the ground is quite hard here so raised beds would be great for growing additional plants. The happy bee street volunteers could plant and maintain the beds.
This would be a relatively low-cost project. We estimate:
- wood 12 x £27.50 = £330 (100cmx200cmx2.4m, Travis Perkins)
- soil 1.5 cu m £240 (Denise’s delight/ blended loam from Madingley Mulch)
- hardware (e.g. screws) £30
