Our agreed targets for 2011.........

We would like to wish all our friends, neighbours, partners and funders a very happy and healthy New Year. Thank you for your support throughout 2010, you have helped to make it a fantastic year for us. We are looking forward to working together and in partnership with you all again next year in what we believe will be a very busy, interesting, exciting and fun 2011.

Following details in our recently adopted Strategic Plan 2011 - 2015 our Management Committee have agreed that, among others, our main targets for 2011 include:

• Securing permission from Network Rail to use arches D, E and F
• Confirming work consents from Network Rail, allowing us to provide a secure gated access to arches E and F
• Providing the main pedestrian access route onto the Green Heart Den (heavily reliant on the purchase of 188 Marsh Street - by Barrow Borough Council from Network Rail)
• Increasing the capacity of our Management Committee
• Working to increase our volunteer data base
• Employment of a Project Manager
• Developing income streams
• Development of the north plot community grow your own scheme

Below is the initial north plot community grow your own scheme design as produced by Groundwork landscape architect John Nuttall in consultation with our Management Committee.

Now the hard work begins......................
