Handbridge Neighbourhood Plan
​
A group of local residents are drafting a neighbourhood plan for Handbridge. A plan area and Handbridge Neighbourhood Forum have been created following a series of public meetings with the objective to help promote and improve the social, economic and environmental well-being of the area.
A public postal consultation on the draft plan has recently been posted to all residents and businesses in Handbridge with a deadline for responses of the end of March. The consultation can also be completed online here.
The Committee of The Friends of the Meadows has drafted a response to the survey with emphasis on green spaces,particularly The Meadows. You can view the draft here (Word file) and are free to use it in your own response if you wish.

We are so lucky in this part of Chester to have The Meadows close by for a short walk as part of our once daily exercise routine. The ‘green lungs’ of Chester provide us with the opportunity to stretch our legs, catch some fresh air and observe the natural environment. Here we can enjoy the large skies and the changing patterns and reflections on the surface of the river.

The Meadows is an area of unspoilt water meadows situated in the “Earl’s Eye” of the River Dee in Chester. It is home to an abundance of wildlife.  The Meadows are unique in being so close to the centre of the busy city of Chester, yet offer a peaceful place to enjoy surrounded by nature. They are regularly enjoyed by walkers, joggers, anglers, bird watchers. There is so much to see: ground nesting birds, river birds, small mammals, aquatic life or just take in the breathtaking beauty.

Friends of the Meadows is an active association of like-minded local people with a common interest in protecting and enhancing the Meadows and conserving it for future generations.
