Our aim is to install a wooden bench on the edge of the green at Selwood Crescent/Mendip Dr. for the benefit of estate residents, visitors and walkers. We also wish to install a Community Noticeboard as per other Community Noticeboards around Frome. This project would be significant in marking the Queens Jubilee year. These would be valuable in providing the elderly and young alike with somewhere to sit and meet outdoors in this lovely green space, a perfect spot for a rest while walking.
Great idea and an asset for this lovely area of green space, making it more usable and valuable to the local community
Great idea, a bench is the one thing that is missing from the lovely green and would give an opportunity for spending a longer time enjoying the space .
It would be really nice to have somewhere to sit and enjoy the area. It would make it easier to have a chat with others. Not everyone can stand for a length of time and without a bench conversation needs to be brief. The last two years have shown how important it is to value our environment and each other.
I would very much support a bench on Selwood Green. Sitting on a bench encourages talking to passers by, and acts as a talking bench too when neighbours meet up. Good for social and mental health. You only need to see how well the bench is used at the other end of Mendip Drive facing Grange Road. We would be happy to contribute to the installation and maintenance of such a bench.
A place to sit on the green would be a great idea. (I like the idea of a noticeboard too). Somewhere to sit and enjoy an ice cream on a sunny day would be great. Maybe some of the wood from the lovely large fir tree that (sadly) has been cut off, can be utilised in some way too?
