Riverside Nature Park

The City Development Committee on Monday evening considered a report on delivering the Riverside Nature Park. I welcomed this report and look forward to a very long wait coming to an end. Since I was elected I have been approached by constituents on a regular basis who want to know about progress towards the opening of a nature park at Riverside. The site is already a haven for wildlife and could become even more so once this project comes to fruition. I met with officers to get an update and I have been very impressed with the way in which council officers have engaged with members of the public about these proposals over the last few months. I am pleased that this work is being financed mainly from external sources.
