The Parish Council along with Blaby District Council and Leicestershire County Council are working towards a time when the proposed Country Park becomes Countesthorpe Country Park and open for general use. We are gradually working through a timetable (below) of action points before any handover can happen.
We all have to be mindful that dates can slip if the developer has not ensured the park is in a fit state for handover or indeed, if the requisite number of houses have not been sold to trigger handover.
By the end of April, we will also begin to outline how a ‘Friends of the Country Park’ can be formed and involved. We already have lots of interest from residents but would ask them all to be patient as there are lots of Legal, Health and Safety and Risk Assessment issues to be confronted before any group can be set up.
The next parish event to explore the draft design and progress will probably be in early Summer 2012, or when we feel enough progress has been made when a day or evening will be set for information and comment. We will continue to keep residents informed through the timetable, which will be updated as and when changes are made in the meantime if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact our parish office.
