Town Trail

 

 

It has been suggested that the Town Trail is discussed again. This had previously been spoken about a few years ago and a suggestion of a display board on the West Bank area with different information, including the floods.  Possibility of a display board being located along the lakeside area. It was suggested that this area could be made more pleasing, the view leading down the lakeside to Welland Bridge is now obstructed by trees and shrubs, which are overgrown and need cutting back.

Following a recent discussion, a wildlife garden could be planted in this area, it was agreed on further investigation.  This area is to be discussed further on the next planning walk around.
