IMPORTANT NOTICE
Neighbourhood Plan Update
MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
In a major step forward, Weymouth Town Council have recommended that the Friends of Greenhill Gardens should put in a last minute bid to be included in the list of Local Green Spaces that is part of the Neighbourhood Plan.
The proposed Weymouth Neighbourhood Plan identifies areas for building new houses. it also identifies Local Green Spaces and areas that need to be given special protection.
The Council has been surprised at the great level of support that has been shown for Greenhill Gardens.
The origin of Greenhill Gardens being missed off the list has been traced back to over 3 years ago when a vital email got lost, and the Greenhill Gardens name was never put forward. The omission only came to light after the final draft of the Neighbourhood Plan had been voted in by Weymouth Town Council.
The very last step before the Plan is finalised is called the “Regulation 16 consultation” where an independent external examiner looks at all the comments, including all your inputs of support, and then decides whether our bid can go forward.
😊Don’t open the champagne yet, but things are moving 😊

Dorset Echo August 2024 from Peter Jarvis
I am writing to express my appreciation for the Friends of Greenhill Gardens (FOGG) and the wonderful work they do to maintain and enhance one of Weymouth’s most enchanting and attractive attractions.
Greenhill Gardens truly is a delight to visit, offering a serene escape from the troubles of this world for residents and visitors alike. Throughout the summer, the gardens break into life with amazing floral displays and a variety of entertainment that caters for all ages bringing much needed joy and community spirit to our delightful town.
Just last Sunday my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a performance by local group The Originals. Their music spanning from the 1950’s and beyond, provided a magnificent backdrop for a winsome afternoon in the gardens.
A heartfelt thank you to the Friends of Greenhill Gardens for all your hard work and dedication for your unstinting efforts not only to preserve the beauty and allurement of the gardens but also create memorable and everlasting experiences for all who visit. Let’s continue to support this invaluable and irreplaceable resource and celebrate all it has to offer.
