| Information |
The Square Route Group formed in August 2001 with the purpose
of raising funds to improve the neglected green space in our
village of New Herrington. Working with the Countryside Agency
and the City of Sunderland, we are creating a ‘Doorstep
Green’ to provide a pleasant and accessible open area
for the whole community to enjoy. Alongside this we are to create
a ‘Homezone’ with the lanes adjoining the Green
– a Homezone is an extension of the Green, creating additional
outdoor living space, priority is given to pedestrians, and
traffic allowed to pass at very low speeds, thereby reclaiming
the streets for the community as well as traffic. Both these
schemes not only enable safe and healthy outdoor play for children,
but also provide an outdoor community area for everyone to use
and enjoy. The area will be better lit, encouraging people to
use the area more, reducing crime and the fear of crime. These
improvements will not only visually enhance the appearance of
the area, but combined with the additional services the Group
provide, will lift morale and strengthen relationships within
the community. This is the first side-by-side Doorstep Green
and Homezone in the North East of England, and the first Homezone
within the City of Sunderland.
The Square Route Group also provides community activities and
events, and is the only community group in our village providing
these services. Work within the community is extensive and is
carried out purely by volunteers. Activities include an annual
Fun Day/Carnival – held on the Green, family discos, outings
and during the last Summer holidays we had weekly outdoor activity
trips for local children including ghyll scrambling, canoeing
etc. for the younger children we had community artists on a
weekly basis doing hands-on projects with the children.
A Children’s’ Forum has also been set up –
allowing the children to make decisions about plans for improving
their environment and also to plan the annual Fun days and other
activities.
The total cost of the environmental improvement scheme is in
excess of £425,000 – these funds have been raised
in less than a year, with a variety of funders and funding packages.
Our work has been strongly supported by the City of Sunderland,
ward members and the Coalfield Area Committee. Work is due to
commence in November 2004.
Additional investment into New Herrington provided by the Group
in the way of funding and provision of community activities
over the last two years is in the region of £100,000.
Without the Group none of this could have happened. |
