Oxbridge Community Garden

Last week I had a walk round Oxbridge Community Garden with one of our residents who volunteers there every month, litter picking and tidying up. We met a council officer who is responsible for projects in green spaces to talk about some more enhancements we would like to see. We discussed completing the network of paths across the garden (which is on Oxbridge Lane just below the cemetery and just before the beck). We hope to find the funding to extend the paths into Grangefield Park (Rudd's Rec) and across stepping stones over the beck, to form a long lazy figure of 8. This would be great for local people who like to walk their dogs or take a stroll. The officer has gone off to cost the proposals up and then we will work on ways of raising the money to pay for it. I would like to think we might have a community picnic to celebrate the new paths if we can pull it off, so that local people who don't yet know about this lovely green space can start using it.
