The city council open spaces officer has been in touch with Matthew Homes and has arranged for a site inspection of the parks in January. This will then enable the adoption process to begin. This process is likely to take 18 months.

In the meantime, Matthew Homes will remain responsible for site maintenance, and any issues should be reported to them or me.

I have had sight of the maintenance agreement, which Matthew Homes work to until adoption by the council is finalised. The agreement does not mention the frequency of emptying bins, but it is hoped that we can agree this in the new year.
