Chippenham Avon Project Masterplan Consultation document
9 Community involvement
While the maintenance of the watercourses remains the responsibility of the landowners, there may be an opportunity for a voluntary community role. Sections of the masterplan area could be allocated to community groups with an interest in wildlife, recreational, sustainability, cycling, walking, arts and educational projects.
Under this model, the responsible bodies would support volunteer organisations to assume the maintenance of sections of the new green space subject to appropriate checks that may include provision of an appropriate scheme of works/business plan; and confirmation of the necessary public liability insurance cover and risk assessments.
