The Save Caley Green Campaign

As featured in the Community Times, the Parish Council are proposing to put vegetation around the bay to prevent erosion.  This will impair the open view and reduce access to the water’s edge.  A considerable number of residents are against this proposal and would like an alternative solution using revetment without vegetation. 
The results of the 'public engagement' carried out by the Parish Council in late August revailed that of those residents who submitted responses: 
AGAINST PLANTING - 29% 
WANTING ALTERNATIVE TO PLANTING - 65% 
IN FAVOUR OF PC PROPOSALS - 7%

You can learn more on the background of this in the following documents: 
‘A Much Loved Village Amenity’: reaction, options, why it matters and more can be viewed here.
