16. Picnic Site at the Riverside

 

To provide a picnic area at the riverside with tables and barbecue facilities.

 

This proposal attracted strong support in the questionnaire with 66% of respondents asking for a formal picnic area with benches, tables and facilities such as drinking water and a barbecue along the river bank.

Such a facility would evidently be very popular but in costing it the additional cost of keeping it well maintained, clean and tidy should also be taken into consideration. What is potentially a worthwhile new asset for the local population and visitors could easily become an eyesore.

Issue To provide a picnic area at the riverside with tables and barbecue facilities. Action Ross Town Council to investigate taking control of the Riverside, feasibility and costs including establishment and on going maintenance. Responsibility Herefordshire Council and Ross Town Council (The riverside is currently owned and maintained by Herefordshire Council.)
