Hall Farm Road Sports Ground
Wetland Area
The Tree Surgeon has provided a quote for carrying out some clearance and coppicing, dead hedging and clearing the waterway.
Following reading report received from Suffolk Wildlife trust, discussions on site visit and also discussions with local residents, we are looking to carry out the following work:
- Push back the tree canopies on edge of wooded area to increase grassy headland.
- Selective thinning on old stools to encourage new understorey growth.
- Creating of dead hedge along top edge of bank, using arisings, to discourage fly tipping and encourage habitat.
- Tidying up of banks either side of water outlet running alongside footpath.
The work listed above is the first phase of a proposed time-phased programme following guidance from Suffolk Wildlife trust, this is to minimise disruption to wildlife, species and local residents.
TOTAL COST: £1,560
Cllr James has agreed to organise a litter pick of the wetland area, ensuring that it takes place when it isn’t too wet. It is advisable that children do not participate in this litter pick due to the ground conditions. The maintenance officer has removed the mattress that had been there for some time.
Play Equipment quotes
Four companies were approached for quotes for a 9aside goal and basketball hoop with a quiet playing surface. Three companies responded but only two could provide a football goal.
Quote 1
Goose neck basketball goal complete with HDPE back board, stainless-steel hoop and stainless-steel chain net. This goal is totally maintenance free and built to last, our standard powder coat colour is white as illustrated but as we manufacture the item, we can offer it in any RAL colour at no extra charge.
Surface: The base preparation for both wet pour and artificial grass is very similar, the area is excavated to approximately 150mm in depth, pre-cast edgings are installed to the perimeter, followed by 100mm layer of heavily consolidated type one stone to the surface area withing the curbs. Wet pour is installed in two layers, 20mm thick base course followed by 20mm thick wearing course in black. Artificial grass has a 30mm thick base course of rubber follower by the artificial carpet over the top. It is important to install a good quality base for both options, failure to do so could result in dips and hollows appearing in the high use areas.
Our 9 a side goal is made from tubular steel and has unique designs which create an attractive but indestructible frame suitable for children and adults. Fully compliant to BSEN 15312 and guaranteed for 20 years. To supply and install one goal into grass. Measuring 3.6m across the goal opening and 1.8m in height.
