New path right across the park more or less finished. The large piles of spoil will be used in the park in the new year rather than transported away. Drainage work isn't finished yet.

Path Construction

Progress is being made constructing the new section of path. The additional drainage is under way too!

The Path

The Friends were successful in their application for a grant to upgrade the path across the park. The contract for the work has been given to Pugh Lewis and will include drainage work and relaying the existing path making it 2.4m wide. The path will also be extended across to the Brampton Manor entrance.
Work starts on Monday November 24th!

Parks and Past Walk

As part of the Chatsworth Road Festival one of our members led an industrial heritage walk starting at the Inkerman.

Birdbox Making Workshop

Well, the Buzz went ahead despite the rain!

Inkerman Buzz 2014

Saturday July 19th is the date for this year's event. Use the link above to see what's going on!!

One of the three new dog poo bag dispensers we have put up around the park. They are at the Brampton Manor, Manor Road/Rockingham Close & Inkerman Cottages entrances.

Litter Bin

The litter bin near the Brampton Manor entrance has been a problem for several months now. It keeps being pushed over and despite appeals to the council they just stand it up and stamp the soil down. Members of the Friends decided to move the bin and dig a bigger hole and fill it with concrete.

Upgrading the Footpath

Good news! The Friends application for grant funding to upgrade the footpath was successful. This should see a 2.5m wide path replacing the original plus an extension on the 'desire' line across to Brampton Manor.

Sporting Activities

The park being used for various sporting activities, football and exercise classes.

Playground busy, blossom out, must be spring!

Another lovely display of daffodils this year and signs of life from all the fruit trees.

Wassail

Our third Wassail finished just before the rain arrived! Around 70 people joined in and had mulled cider and apple juice. Afterwards we sang to the trees and fired 'party poppers' instead of the traditional shot gun!
