ExamplePlanting will be undertaken this autumn to reinforce the existing hedges around the site and to create a new hedge across the site between the car park and the conservation area. We have selected Hopes Grove Nurseries mixed native hedging, mix 2, and placed an order so we receive bare rooted transplants this autumn.

Following earlier work undertaken by Southern Electric to create a new access from the car park Club members have constructed a permanent metalled way from the car park to the clubhouse site. 

About one third of the overall plot of land, at the east end of the site, will be cultivated to encourage a wild flower meadow to develop.
