A new path needs to be marked out, cut, dug, then filled with coarse ballast and topped with a fine ballast to enable walking access to two little used benches. The benches are in a perfect spot for beautiful views over the pond and thereby watching the many waterfowl that frequent this beautiful ornamental park.

What we'll deliver:

• Create the new path to access the benches

Why it's a great idea:

The location of the two benches is on a an area that gets quite waterlogged and thereby not very accessible. The path will make the benches accessible to all and provide a lovely spot to watch the various waterfowl using the pond. Millers Pond is a beautiful and tranquil park in the centre of Shirley which is loved by all local residents. We want to keep it like this!

Steps to get it done:

• Excavate, add membrane, infill with type 1 limestone + dust, compact and clear site

The project will increase the enjoyment gained by visitors allowing them to sit and reflect on this peaceful oasis in the heart of Shirley
