The deadline for replying to the City Planning Department on the Football pitch development on the meadows is this Friday, 6th November. As there has been a change in the original proposal, even if you submitted a response before, it’s worth submitting again. Information on the City Council’s website at Planning or at the Planning Division reception in room 7017 of the Town Hall Extension between 9 am and 4.30 pm Mon to Fri. See previous blog posts for background and other information.
Picnic on the Meadows event
Next Sunday 8th November 2009 at 2pm the Campaign to Save the Meadows invite everyone to come along and picnic on the meadows! In their own words:
”Bring along your sarnies, flasks and anything else you'd like to. We plan to use the meadows for an hour to prove this "derelict land" IS USED!
Please pass this on to as many people as possible. THE MORE THE MERRIER!
Regardless of the weather this is still going ahead so bring your brollies, woolies , wellies ! :)
please bring yourselves , friends, families, dogs, kites , music , picnics ... Your presence to show how much the meadow is loved.”
The Lost Plot
Not the gunpowder plot which will be ‘celebrated’ this week, but a Permaculture allotment community based just off Nell Lane (near Southern Cemetery). Nestling amongst endless greens, brown, yellows, oranges, reds, purples and blues of all the growing are a home-made green house, a social area (with fire pit), a rescued shed (plus extension), a curvy pond and railway-sleeper herb spiral. As well as rustling around in the earth, they also have performances and gatherings and run workshops.
This will be the first of a series of mentions of green/greenish initiatives in the Chorlton area .
The Lost Plot celebrate their 4th anniversary this month and are holding a Birthday Bonfire bonanza next Sunday (8th) at 6 pm. As well as a bonfire, this will feature a Barbecue (both meat and vegetarian) and fireworks. (Hmmm I’m turning a blind eye to the carbon impact in plugging it, as it’s presumably just once a year… )

MegaTesco Update:
No full submission of plans last week: recent news is that Tesco have submited some documents to Trafford’s planning department, but not the full application. It may go in this week.
