Keep sending in your responses!

​Lane end residents have until 30th June to respond to the Parish Council who want to hear your comments about how the Chalky Fields money is to be used. See the link at the bottom to add your voice, especially for the Finings Wood purchase. See you at the Fete.
Slip into the cool green shade where leaves gently whisper and each soft step melts away the stress of the day. That’s the power of ancient woodland and we’re lucky enough to have it on our doorstep with Finings Wood.
Scientific studies prove that being in nature is crucial for our health and wellbeing. More housing is needed, but as more and more of Lane End’s green spaces disappear under developers’ paving, it’s also vital to safeguard the pockets of nature that we cherish.
Securing Finings Wood for the community of Lane End:
Protects the wood from falling into the wrong hands so we can all continue to access it
Allows us to restore areas with the potential for high quality woodland
Offers new leisure opportunities in less sensitive areas of the woodland, for example:
Off-road cycling
Fitness trail
Enclosed dog exercise and agility area
Children’s wild play trail
Training and volunteering opportunities in bushcraft, wildlife and woodland skills for adults and youth groups such as youth clubs, scouts and DofE
Finings Wood Community Group is regulated by the Charity Commission. Thanks to local support, £56k has already been raised towards the purchase of Finings Wood. £200k from the sale of Chalky Fields would allow us to unlock new sources of funding, bringing us closer to a position where we can make an offer.
View this and other projects here and email your support for Finings Wood to Hayley, the clerk at the Parish Council.
