Following a public consultation, the request by a resident to lease a small pond that’s part of Scholes’ Field, Gatley and to keep it fenced in was rejected.  We’d asked people what they thought and had 45 against with 2 (including the resident concerned) in favour.

The point was made by Cllr Jones – and I agree – that although the resident was wrong to put up the fence, it was done with good intentions to care for a piece of land that has been neglected of late.

Councillors felt that there should be a better way, and residents who attended the meeting volunteered details of three local groups who would be interested in getting involved in bringing the location back to its former glory, perhaps by setting up a Friends’ group for the park, as we have successfully done in many other places across Stockport.
