Value

£70,000

Purpose

Regenerating the heritage site at Wrose Hill/Quarry, including adding accessible footpaths, improving biodiversity by creating new wetland features and tree planting, adding new recreational features.

Objectives

• Transforming the current Wrose Quarry site will increase local biodiversity, boost our climate resilience, and create a new visitor destination for members of the local community.
• Renovate and renew the footpath network.
• Improve drainage in key areas to prevent flooding that closes footpaths.
• Improve biodiversity by creating new wetland features across the site, and installing new scrapes and ponds.
• Tree planting in and around the site
• Improve signage at the site including historical interpretation boards and natural history.
• Install new recreational features including benches and new bike ramps in a dedicated bike area.

Position up to April 2024

Works have been completed with time taken now to collate evidence as part of the delivery of outputs. An opening event is expected to take place in May 2024 once the signage has been installed.
