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 the busy, sunny playground on Wednesday 15th February to publicise the launch of the playground consultation. Officers spoke to visitors about how they can share their views and ideas for the play area improvements by filling in the online survey. The survey is open until March 1st.
All the feedback collected will be used to help develop the designs for the play area 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 regarding such issues as litter and anti-social behaviour. These concerns have been fed to the relevant teams to handle outside of the park improvement project.
