I think the parish should apply for this funding. There are several ponds in the village in private hands so unavailable for visiting. But the ‘horse pond’ by the church gate is on public land and is being restored by a private villager. Could this aid him on our behalf?.It would also be wonderful if the council could identify a site to create a new wildlife pond on land owned by the village.
Thank you for your comment Jacqueline. From memory, I believe the funding was only available to land owners (farmers) so I sent it onto Robert Lenton and Martin Jensen and posted it on the website just in case there were any others in that category who might be able to make use of it. I will check the original approach again just in case I’ve misunderstood it.

Just checked again Jacqueline. Yes – you are right but not aware that the Parish Council is responsible for the pond is it??
