Update 30/7/11. The form has been sent off - thanks to all involved.

We had over 100 responses from our survey (of 300 sent out). Thanks to PepitaJ haridressers, St Mary's church, Natwest bank and Cheadle Library for putting them on display and to Stockport Council for sending out to residents and collating the results.

The Lottery funding form is nearing completion.

We've had to modify the plans and move the path. The benches, wild planting area, heriitage lamps and bins are all in the plan.

The local community has been sent details and responses requested. Forms were also left in the local hairdressers, bank and library.

We have a meeting with the facilitator on July 13th.

Further plans may include a wild-life walk around the rear of the wild plant area.

The herbs wheel is overgrown withe herbs - please use them!

13/7 Had a meeting with the Lottery Funding Facilitator to sort out the second stage form.

We had over 78 responses from our survey (from about 300 sent out) - A very encouraging response with some excellent comments.

It's Butterfly survey time, so if you do spend 15 minutes counting them on the Green, please let me know. We can use this in future to show increasing biodiversity.
