Lady Brook Spring – The Future

Proposed-Lady-Brook-Spring
The Parish Council held a public meeting on 1st May to discuss the Lady Brook Spring Community Project.

The PC reported that WSCC has agreed to fund a community project of up to £3-4K, to source and provide materials. The project would be implemented by a volunteer workforce.

After much discussion at the public meeting the following basic design was agreed

The inside of the spring should have brick on all four sides. With additional boulders and a hedgehog ramp on one side, making for easy escape should children/animals fall in
The outside would be similar to the design below with a plaque on the top of the wall. It is suggested that the wall be between 2 ft and 2.6ft high.
The back of the spring would be raised by a mix of boulders and tree stumps in filled with plants.
