🌿 Yarmouth Life Civic Forum — Community Update
We recently had a productive meeting with Mr Wilson from the council, where we discussed a number of important local issues.
🗑️ Bulk Collection
We were given a clearer understanding of the challenges around bulk waste collection, particularly relating to fridges and freezers.
It’s clear there are reasons behind the delays and issues, and he will continue to follow this up.
🌱 Improving Our Green Spaces
We also continued discussions around transforming unused or muddy patches of land into areas that can be enjoyed by the community.
These spaces have the potential to become:
🌿 Small nature areas
🚶 Walking routes
🪑 Resting points for those who need them
🚶‍♂️ Accessibility Matters
We are seeing more areas become walking and cycling friendly, which is fantastic.
However, there is one key point we must not overlook:
👉 Without seating, there is no walking for many people
Not everyone can walk long distances without rest.
By introducing seating and stopping points, we make these spaces accessible to:
Older residents
Those with limited mobility
Families and carers
🌍 Looking Ahead
These green spaces are not just about appearance — they are about:
Inclusion
Accessibility
Community well being
We believe small changes like this can make a big difference to everyday life.
📢 Stay Tuned
There is more to come on this, and we’ll keep you updated as progress continues.
