Water Street

Some suggestions on how to improve it.

Artist's Impression of how the Old Toilet site on Water Street could look.

The Old Toilet site on Water Street as it is now.

One of the areas that was identified as 'neglected' in the first Vulnerable Places and Spaces survey was the Old Toilet site on Water Street.

It is currently vacant, though it is used as an off street car park on occasions. We have offered to create a sensory garden on the site with seating and perhaps a statute or two.

We have had an encouraging response from High Peak Borough Council, though for the next few months the site will be used as storage for the building works that are taking place at the Opera House during the spring.

Lyn Noble has prepared an artists impression of how the site could look based on ideas that Diane White has had.

Before working up a detailed proposal we would be interested in ascertaining people's thoughts and ideas.

Corbar Woods repairs

These pictures show repairs to paths in Corbar Woods, and damaged trees that need our attention. Repairs to the infrastructure of the woodlands such as paths, fences, dry stone walls and stiles are a major part of our yearly expenditure.
We don't "clear up" all damaged or fallen trees some we leave standing for the local wildlife, if you look carefully you can see woodpecker nests on one of the pictures. Stone for the repair of the paths is often donated by local quarries.
