Issue - meetings

Members were updated on progress against the Green Space Delivery Plan. During presentation and discussion, the following points were raised:

·         The high public satisfaction with planting in Hinckley

·         The receipt of S106 monies to enable work in Argents Mead to commence, including landscaping, improvements around the moat and a new play area (to be completed at a similar time to the new Leisure Centre)

·         The widening of the footpath in Queens Park and possibility of installation of heritage lighting

·         The possibility of play and open space provision within the development on the site currently occupied by Holliers Walk School, should the move of the school to the Mount Grace site proceed

·         The request to move the helicopter from the Preston Road park to Brodick Park.

In response to a member’s question, officers agreed to check whether any trees would be lost in Argents Mead as a result of the McCarthy & Stone development.
