New Project for a New Year

As we move into the latter stages of this Rotary Year we are pleased to say that a significant local project ,that was proposed towards the end of 2024, is now moving forward quite rapidly.

Following discussions with Chard Town Council, a piece of land was made available adjoining Chard Cemetery for us to create a 'Peace Garden' for the town. The intention is to create a quiet space where anyone visiting the cemetery, or anyone else who wishes to, can sit and reflect. Chard Town Council's Amenities team have been very helpful, clearing the site so that we can see what steps need to be taken to move forward.

We have been fortunate to secure the services of a garden designer who has now visited the site and come produced two possible plans, which are now under consideration. Once we have made a decision on the correct plan , work will commence on developing the site.
