EAGLES are leading a community project where the potential of a neglected LAP space is realised and we are creating ‘Somewhere nice to bee…’. We are creating a community garden and play space for residents of the village but primarily for those that live very close to the area.
We have liaised with staff at Elsenham Primary School and supported a flower growing project, with EAGLES supplying seeds and resources for growing flowers for the garden, thus helping children make solid connections with their community and appreciate the importance and beauty of the natural environment.
EAGLES were keen to foster positive relationships with other interested parties and publicised the proposed project to the wider community, engaging volunteers and expertise from the village to support the project’s development and long-term sustainability. With this engagement we hope to create a space that provides for the needs of the residents in terms of building community cohesion and providing a safe space for young children’s play.
