Grove Joint Environmental Trust

Yesterday I attended a meeting of the Grove Joint Environmental Trust which is made up of representatives from the Vale and Parish Council along with co-optees from local organisations. The Trust is set up to consider projects for improving the environment in Grove and works closely with the Letcombe Brook Project Officer who is partially funded by the Trust.

We discussed tree planting in the village, restoration and installation of benches, restoration of the bus shelter on the village green and future projects which we may wish to undertake. We had asked the local schools for ideas on improvements to the main entrance to Grove by perhaps installing a 'Welcome to Grove' sign. Grove C of E School had come up with an idea which we shall pursue with landscape officers from the Vale. Other ideas for improvements which include the entrance to the Day Centre and the possibility of an improved footpath by the brook at the Green will also be looked into. We were also updated on flood alleviation projects along Letcombe Brook.
