Wildflower Meadows Project
8th of July, 2021
At the Parish Council Meeting on 7 July 2021, it was reported that the Parish Council had received complaints regarding the state of the verges along Chancery Road. The Chair reported that Chorley Borough Council had agreed to assign a team to remove the ugly ‘triffid’ type weeds, by hand, within the next couple of weeks.
It was also reported that a resident had contacted the Parish Council suggesting that triangular signs are erected along Chancery Road, similar in size to the butterfly ones, stating " Hedgehogs , please drive carefully " to raise awareness that they inhabit this area. In addition, it was suggested that residents be requested to leave hedgehog size holes in fenced back gardens so they may pass through from garden to garden.
The Parish Council agreed:
- That a site meeting be arranged to take place in early August between Parish Councillors and representatives of Chorley Borough Council to discuss the maintenance of the wildflower meadows along Chancery Road and agree a way forward for 2022 and onwards.
- That the Parish Clerk be requested to write to County Councillor Aidy Riggott, requesting him to seek Lancashire County Councils consent to erect triangular signs along Chancery Road, similar in size to the butterfly ones, stating " Hedgehogs , please drive carefully " to raise awareness that they inhabit this area.
