Work on site is coming along nicely – the new turf is establishing well and tree planting has been carried out. The outstanding work includes installation of signage and seating ready for the opening. We have received some great feedback from the public already. The launch event has been planned for Saturday 25th May. Watch this space for more details.
This project was completed in 2013.

Working with Carrbrook Residents Association and Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council we aim to create a community area.
The main intended features of the area are:
– Improved access through resurfacing the existing paths into the site.
– Cutting back some of the vegetation / shrubs from around the edges to make the site more welcoming and open.
– Improved drainage and goal posts to the existing football pitch which enable young people to take part in ball games in a designated area away from the road.
– Signage drawing attention to the site.
– Small nature trail creation which would encourage younger children to play and interact with the natural environment.
– Small terraced seating area which would add focus to the site allowing people to sit, relax and enjoy the natural surroundings and family activities.
The area will be designed to be low maintenance. It will be designed to provide children with a safe exciting environment to run around, play and explore.
The group are hoping to secure some funding from Community Spaces to carry out the works.
