    Ecologists will be in the park for one day during the week of 6th March to carry out the site assessment for the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal. There will be no impact on use for regular visitors to the park.

    A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal seeks to identify the main habitat types present on site and establish the potential to support protected or notable species. The site visit is part of the appraisal which also involves desk-based research.

    Mid Sussex District Council are working with a Registered Practice of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management who will send one or two ecologists to look for evidence of use by, or features with the potential to support, badger, bats, nesting birds, great crested newt, hazel dormouse, otter, reptiles, and water vole.

    The report they produce will be used by our landscape architects to make sure that any changes we make do not have a negative impact on the site’s wildlife, and ideally will enhance it.

    MSDC Officers were in Mount Noddy Recreation Ground on Wednesday 22nd February to publicise the launch of the consultation for play and youth facilities. Officers spoke to visitors about how they can share their views and ideas for the play area improvements and what should be included in the youth zone, by filling in the online survey. The survey is open until March 8th.

    All the feedback collected will be used to help develop the designs for the park to create somewhere that local families really want to visit. The plans will be presented back with a further opportunity to comment in a few months’ time.

    MSDC Officers also spoke to residents about their concerns about the wider park particularly regarding anti-social behaviour and access to the tennis courts. These concerns are being followed up with the relevant teams.

    Surveyors have been out this week to map the park. This will give our Landscape Architects an accurate base to work from when developing the future plans.
