What will happen in winter when all the wild flowers die back? what will be the cost to maintain these? Why are we not focusing on more pressing issues, for example the state of the pavements, encouraging more businesses into Marple, pushing for a swimming pool etc.
Who are the neighbourhood teams? As I was not aware of there existence. Is this a few people making decisions on behalf of the majority?
The wildflowers are from reports quite self sufficient after the 1st year where maintenance is needed. I am unsure if you are on Facebook but a group of residents have offered to help with the project which we are delighted with. As for costs this is a trial and this will be monitored. The scheme has been extremely well received after initial questions were raised as it has many benefits.
The project does not interfere with any other actions we are pushing for, for example updates on the pool project have been promulgated whenever there has been one, we meet Council officers regularly regarding this and we are all working to ensure we get an excellent new leisure facility.
The neighbourhood team is quite simply people who work under the jurisdiction of the head of Neighbourhoods and will help us whenever we need it, not make decisions.
I’m more than happy to meet if you’d like to discuss anything further, please let me know if this suits you?
Kind regards
Steve
