The next public meeting of the Four Oaks Neighbourhood Forum

This meeting could be of interest to all users of West Midlands Trains regardless of where you live.

We are not having five, we’re having at least 12 beeches, six either side of the path.  If you can make it go and watch the process.  The tree spade is driven into the ground, revolved, and the jaws close.  It then lifts the earth, drives to the hedge at the top of the Greenway and deposits the soil.  It is then used to fill in any holes nearby.

We reported in the 124^th issue of Gatepost, February – March 2018, that as part of the development of a site identified for the commonwealth games athletes’ village we were offered a number of Beech (about 20 in total) that could be translocated from the site rather than lose them to felling.

John Porter suggested at the time that we could translocate them to the Greenway.  The photo shows the first two of five planted by a professional company using a large tree spade.  This was a complete lift and re-plant operation.

Any photos of the large tree spade in operation would be most welcome.  Please send to bgatepost@gmail.com.

Many thanks John.

Have you, or someone you know, lost a drone or helicopter in the last few month?  The drone was found in the Greeenway area and the helicopter near the corner of Westwood Road.  The drone had a card containing a few photos, do you recognise them?  If you think either machine belongs to you please drop us a few details to bgatepost@gmail.com and we’ll try to connect with the true owner/s.

From the Neighbourhood Forum tonight the question of recycling was raised by a resident who had trouble finding the nearest recycling site.  Cllr. Rob Pocock told us about a site that says it all – its at WRAP.  You can reach them from the website or by phone 01295 819 619 or media.enquiries@wrap.org.uk

The next meeting is on Monday, 24th September at 7.30 p.m. in the Banners Gate Community Hall, Reay Nadin Drive.  All are welcome.

We begin with Bob Green telling us what growing up in the 1950s was like,  We then have a free coffee/tea break when you can ask him questions you were too shy to ask during the meeting.  You will also have an opportunity to speak with the councillors who are present.

We then have the main meeting and finish no later than 9.30 p.m.
