Gedney Parish Council comprises one of the largest areas in any Parish Council within South Holland. The area is 5,072 hectares, the population in the 2001 Census was 2,305 residents and by 2003 it was estimated that the population had risen to 2,407 residents.
The Nature Reserve is now well under way; the grasses have grown well this year enabling the natural seeding of all existing species and for new inhabitants to settle into the long grass. Soon nesting will be over and a cut of the main grassed area is planned for the end of July.
In the mean time the low hanging branches of the trees at the side of the field are to be trimmed which will enable a walk way around ¾ of the nature reserve to be cut so that parishioners can start to enjoy seeing the project emerge.
The next stage will be to fence the centre area to protect plants and insects.
Picnic tables are to be placed next to the parking area to enable full use of the facility.
Members of the parish are doing work on a mainly voluntary basis and should anyone wish to offer their services the council would be only too pleased to hear from you.

The old swings at Walker Memorial Park have to be removed for safety reasons. Do you think they should be replaced? Replaced with a Youth Shelter or not replaced as there is enough play equipment and seating there now.
