AREA FORUM GRANT
Mancetter Parish Council has been successful in its application for a grant from the North Warwickshire East Area Forum Fund.
The grant has helped to pay for the purchase of six trees which were planted in the cemetery. The trees were planted to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
In addition to the trees we will also be turning the adjoining field into a wild flower meadow. This field is next to the current burial area.
There has been a lot of work done in the cemetery in the past year to create a new cremation area with a copper beech tree and a commemorative stone, provided by Tarmac quarry. The trees and wild flower meadow will complete this work and provide a tranquil area for family and friends to remember loved ones in their final resting place.
A Tree Planting Ceremony took place in September and included the official opening of the cremation area.
PUBLIC FOOTPATH FROM MONKS PARK LANE TO
PURLEY CHASE LANE THROUGH UPPER COAL SPINNEY NOW RE-OPENED
Warwickshire County Council has now removed the Temporary Traffic Order closing Public Footpath AE108 between Monks Park Lane and Purley Chase Lane following temporary repairs being made to make the path safe.
The closure was required because of the likelihood of danger to the public as a result of a
collapsed culvert creating severe erosion.
It is likely a further temporary closure will take place when permanent repairs are being made.
Trilobite Fossil found in Purley Chase a few years ago
