Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Projects Officer.

The report of the Project Officer was considered.

The Committee supported the principle of providing an area for a children’s memorial garden and the potential location, design of the site and infrastructure required were discussed.

After discussion it was agreed that the garden be located at Windrush Cemetery with exact siting to be agreed. Members indicated that the garden should be relatively small, include benches for people to sit and reflect, have a willow arch entrance if possible and a planted area. It was agreed that this should be a Town Council project.

Recommended:

1.       That, the provision of a Children’s Memorial Garden at Windrush Cemetery be supported; and

2.       That, officers be requested to develop the scheme on the basis outlined at the meeting.
