Cullercoats Green Spaces
Cullercoats Collective: Our Green Spaces are just as important as our Blue!
We’ve had a lot of interest from our Community Engagement for Cullercoats Collective to look into our Green Spaces, as part of Cullercoats’ Eco and Environment aspect and our Pride of Place strategy arms.
Cullercoats has a lot of great areas of interest: from the dunes and areas around the slopes leading onto Cullercoats Bay full of weeds and rubbish, to neglected planters outside of estates such as John street and Cullercoats Metro Station.
Cullercoats Collective can help facilitate willing volunteers and make these ideas a reality.
-
To show pride of place for our Green Spaces by seeking opportunities to fund community gardening projects, facilitate and co-ordinate volunteers who are willing to adopt certain previously neglected areas, and host a series of 'community gardening' based events (e..g Cullercoats in Bloom, Competitions, 'adopt a planter').
To promote sustainability by hosting demonstrations and talks to suit anybody in Cullercoats "whatever-the-size" of available space. -
Ongoing.
Kick Off meeting May 2021 to launch gardening and sustainability projects late-May 2021 - Cullercoats Collective can link up a network of volunteers (named Cullercoats Ambassadors) who are willing to tidy up, weed, plant in certain designated areas with available funding opportunities and equipment loans/donations, as well as liaise with responsible bodies (e.g. North Tyneside council, local housing, etc) to all show Pride of Place.
How can you help?
