January 2011

Wishing all Friends of Springfield Park
a prosperous 2011.
Friends of Springfield Park (FoSp) will commence 2011 with their first meeting of the year on January 13th 7-8pm at the Children’s Centre, Stoney Lane. If you would like to get involved, share ideas for community events to promote and develop the area then come along to our meeting or follow us on Facebook, our website TBA or through this quarterly newsletter.
Our future plans include providing nesting boxes for the park by Jan 31st, a Springfield Watch, sign posts, notice boards, fund raising events and more tidy days. We really would value your feedback and input.

Our Tidy Day was a great success , litter picking groups were made up of young and old all enjoying the day. Numerous bags of rubbish were collected and all enjoyed a hot dog afterwards for their efforts.

Thanks to all those who took part and KD TBA for the hot dogs. We hope to arrange further tidy days in the future.

National Tree Week
The Councils Tree Officer together with FoSp and St. Mary’s Primary School were due to plant trees the 2nd and 5th December, both events had to be cancelled due to the weather. The first phase on Clensmore Field has now gone ahead together with natural thinning of the Loral trees alongside Brookdale and the car park this will hopefully reduce anti
social behaviour by providing more open space.
Further tree felling / planting is detailed on the reverse of this
newsletter.

The Friends of Springfield Park are supported by the Horsefair, Broadwaters & Greenhill Partnership
