Community Gathering July 2025 We can't quite believe that this was our fourth Community Gathering! We were so grateful that the weather behaved. After having had a week of extremely high temperatures almost hitting 30, we were concerned that the heat would be too much for everyone or that heavy rain might spoil the event. Plenty of plants and books were exchanged and the children loved having their faces painted and henna tatoos done. New activities this year were Tug-O-War and Splat the Rat, both of which went down a storm. in the quite corner children were able to take part in colouring and painting rocks for Abbey the Adder (to be found at the top of Back Alley. Bike-works were able to provide many residents with a quick service (for free) and the Ice cream man was as busy as usual. We were thrilled that the Fire Brigade were able to take time out to visit us and let the children experience being in their fire engine. With chairs provided by the committee some residents were able to sit and enjoy a fun afternoon while other brought their blankets along with picnics. Thank you to all those who were able to make it an enjoyable time. Our primary aim is to bring the community together. Any monies raised go to funding the Liability Insurance (required by law) to enable this and all the other events organised by the committee.

Abbey Circus Air Raid Shelter Walk to Abbey Circus to view the triangle of land which was left to the local residents to enjoy and you will find more than just a grass. For many years the patch of land was off limits until local residents fought for it to be reopened. Today there are access gates, new fencing, planters and, importantly, you will find its WW2 air raid shelter, which is still in existence today. It was earmarked for demolition in 1979, the Cold War drew to a close and the 67 ft shelter (B34TYB) was mothballed but recently has been protected and is now considered to be a site of Special Scientific Interest. A couple of years ago, Chris Reynolds, Professor of Contemporary European History and Memory Studies at Nottingham Trent University took on the project to restore and reopen the shelter. Thanks to him school children now visit to learn about the war effort and the fascinating local history. The general public are also able to visit. Please go to https://ng2shelter.com/about/ to find out more. For more information or to book: Email: information@ng2shelter.com Below you can see a selection of artefacts from inside the shelter.

Abbey Park Orchard is slowly coming together with two separate areas of planting. Beautiful fruit trees in one area and cherry trees in another. Abbey Park Orchard A few months ago we floated the idea of a community orchard on Abbey Park. We are looking to push forward with the project and we would love get your comments on the project. We are also looking for local people to ‘adopt’ one of the trees to make sure they are properly watered during really dry periods. we now have two plans showing a maximum of 20 trees. Can we get 20 people to adopt a tree? You can comment on here or also send an email to abbeypark.ng@gmail.com . The plans are also available on the notice board and Abbey Park Local Facebook Group Thank you to all those who took time to submit comments on the consultation. They are currently being collated and we hope to have news on the Orchard soon. Following on from the suggestions of an alternative site next to the bus turning circle I have produced an alternative layout for this site as well. I have an open mind about which site might be most appropriate. I can see pros and cons in each. Please feel free to comment on this alternative proposal via email to the Community Association.

We want our field to grow and become an even more beautiful place to be. Tree Planting Streetwise have now started planting to replace the beautiful Ash Trees that were damaged by dieback. New Acers, Cherries and Red Oak are being planted and will be hopefully gracing our park in years to come. Thankfully, Streetwise has a contractor to water them every 3 weeks from March. However it should ideally be once a week. If you can help in any way to ensure they settle in and become well established, please email us at abbeypark.ng@gmail.com More discussions are underway with a view to planting a possible orchard and even a mini forest so watch this space!
