Rawlyn Corner bench -

From "Environmental Improvement Programme 2023-24: New bidding round"

Go to the project

The green space on Rawlyn corner was a very popular inclusion in last year's EIP and now hosts wildflower patches. Funds were spread very thin last year and we promised residents that we would do more for Rawlyn corner this year.

Residents top pick would be a sturdy vandal proof bench for weary shoppers to rest at on their way home and enjoy the wildflowers. We understand that the city council often has surplus benches at Cherry Hinton Hall and we would love to have the next surplus bench available installed here

Dear Cllr Bennett, Thank you for your project application idea, the project concept will contribute towards improving the local environment providing improved accessibility and social interaction. This project was taken to the East Area Committee 07/12/2023 for consideration within the funding and criteria for EIP area funding. Following East 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 £2,000. 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. Kind Regards
