Hardingstone Parish Council Cherry Orchard Consultation

What would you like to see?

Hardingstone Parish Council has at last acquired possession of the lovely field we call Cherry Orchard Park for the benefit of the village.

That means it belongs to all Hardingstone residents. We would like your ideas as to what should happen to it, if anything.

If you're not sure how to access Cherry Orchard there are three entrances

• From Delapre woods on the footbridge over the A45,

• Via the footpath from High St. adjacent to the thatched cottages,

• Through the gate on Hardingstone lane where there is also access with a Radar key. When the land was transferred to Hardingstone PC from West Northants Council, certain conditions on its use were agreed. What we can and can't do

• It must only be used as a public open space for recreational use.

• There is a public footpath that runs across the centre of the area.

• We cannot dispose of the land (not that we want to).

• We are restricted from doing anything on the land which may become a nuisance or disturbance to the land.

• No permanent building is allowed on the land. Please respond with your views to the Parish Clerk, address above.
