LONGSHIP WAY AMENITY AREA
Further to minute 81 of the Environment Committee meeting held on 10th February, 2003 where it was recommended that the Longship Way amenity area be monitored with regard to litter. This recommendation was submitted to the Maldon Youth Council at their meeting held on 11th March, 2003 and they submitted the following response for consideration:
Members of the Youth Council who live in the vicinity of the Longship Way amenity area felt that the removal of the tree trunk had made no difference to the number of young people congregating in the area. They felt that a litter bin should be provided as they had picked up litter and put carrier bags by the log when it was in place for people to put their rubbish in. They also felt that it would be beneficial for a youth seat or a bench to be sited on the area not only for young people but for all members of the local community.
Members are therefore requested to consider the installation of a litter bin and bench at the Longship Way amenity area.

DOOR STEP GREENS
At the request of Cllr. Thain members are requested to consider whether the Doorstep Greens Scheme would be of benefit to the Town Council or community.
For information "Doorstep Greens" is a programme run by the Countryside Agency to help people create a place to play and relax on their doorstep. If you live in a built up area with little greenery around you, or in the country with no outdoor community space, 200 communities across England will be given the chance to create new green space or to revitalise an old one. Further details will be available at the meeting.
