Have your say on five-year plan
(Date of issue: Tuesday, 20 April 2010)
Local residents are being asked their views on a draft five-year
plan for Talkin Tarn Country Park.
The management plan sets out the proposed works and projects for
the next five years. A month-long consultation, starting this
Friday (23 April) will allow local residents the chance to comment
on its content.
The plan is divided into the following sections: Site
Descriptions; Conservation; Education; Recreation; Boathouse
Tearooms & Gift Shop; Health & Safety; and Actions
Plans.
The sections are sub-divided into areas of work or facilities,
with a brief description of each including history/background,
current status and a list of action points. There are also two
action plans included:
- Annual - which includes all the day to day maintenance work
required to maintain the park, such as grass cutting regimes.
- Five-Year - which includes larger proposed projects to happen,
or those to be researched, each year over the five year
period.
The management plan is a working document and will be reviewed
and updated annually.
Hard copies of the plan will be available to view at the
following locations between Friday, 23 April and Friday, 28 May:
Carlisle Main library, Brampton Library, Civic Centre – Customer
Contact Centre, Talkin Tarn Tearooms and Bousteads Grassing
reception, Rome Street.
Feedback forms can also be collected and handed in at these
locations. All feedback forms need to be returned by Friday, 28 May
2010.
