Lesnes To Crossness<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting opened with an update on the Lesnes to Crossness project by Tim Baker who is the Landscape Project Manager. Phase I is now complete and Phase II is underway. \u00a0An initial plan has been created and it is due to finalised in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Lesnes-to-Crossness-Phase-IIa-1024x732\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see it will be the section along Abbey Way from Yarnton Way to Alsike Road. \u00a0I must add that is only an initial draft but you can get an idea of how it should look.<\/p>\n

There will be three new access paths all disabled compliant. \u00a0New children’s play areas in addition to the current one that will be refurbished with new play equipment. \u00a0A question was asked\u00a0about the segregation of the play areas because older and younger children were being given areas some distance from each other. \u00a0This was felt not to be practical for some families and Mr Baker agreed to look for a solution.<\/p>\n

The police representative raised the issue of motor bike riders in the area and it was suggested that some preventative measures were taken to discourage them. \u00a0This was agreed but the problem is to try not to clutter the area with too many gates etc. The aim is to start work in March 2016.<\/p>\n
