6. Groundwork Application
The application is going forward. Groundwork have sent a map of the woods so that the Group can look at putting in up to 10 benches.

Members of the Group are going to conduct a site visit and decide the best places for the benches.
Francesca Jenkinson has also been in contact with Adam over the information boards. Adam will supply the information he has already collated for her to use. The Group may add some boards of their own depending on how well these boards survive. Initially 3 boards will be put up at the entrances being developed under the agreed application.
