The User Group will next meet on Tuesday 14 January to discuss priorities for the park. We have been granted some monies through National Grid as compensation for the disruption caused by the cable works over the last 18 months. Our priorities during this time have been to get the basketball area resurfaced and get new nets fixed; install some table tennis tables; request new noticeboards; create new information boards for the orchard and for the mini-woodlands in North Millfields; buy some new park furniture (benches and wheelchair accessible picnic tables; put a mosaic on the wall between the sub-station and the new children’s playground in South Millfields; and to get the kiosk in North Millfields functioning again.

The meeting will be on Zoom and will start at 19.30. If you’d like to join please email: chair@millfieldsusers.org.uk  for a link.

With the Tree Musketeers we’ll be planting trees and whips (small bare-rooted trees) in December and January in the Cricketfield, and in North Millfields Park. Come and join in; you don’t need any experience and we provide all of the tools you’ll need. Everyone is welcome. Bring garden gloves if you have them, although we’ll bring some along, and dress for the weather. You might also want to bring a snack.

Meet in the Cricketfield, the other side of Chatsworth Road opposite the tennis courts.
