Overgrown Hedges & Trees at Jubilee Park
Councillors welcomed residents to their public meeting on 14 October last and enjoyed a lively and informed debate with them. It was clear that many of them had clear ideas of what should and should not be planted - and everyone agreed that the better way forward is to take these views on board and for our Vice Chair, Cllr Hopwood to meet again with our grounds contractor to examine the site and devise a plan that will suit everyone's needs. We'll report back at the next meeting on 11 November in Trewidland Village hall.20th October 2026
