Council Reports Colchester Countryside Volunteer Rangers The volunteers contribute a lot of time and effort in assisting the Colchester City Council Rangers maintain the various sites in Colchester and without their help this would not be possible. Part of the volunteers’ work involves the use of high powered tools and machinery, for which they need training in order to obtain a safety certificate. Myland Community Council has recently been kind enough to give us a grant, in order for four of these volunteers to receive this training and gain their certificates. We are, of course, truly grateful for the Council’s generosity. Together We Grow Various grants have been received over the last five years which have been spent to maintain the running of our wonderful garden: • £2000 - new accessible raised beds • £150 - donation • £2500 - contributions towards mini bus, insurance, sign writing, and adaptations • £5000 - contributions towards the general running of the group and the range of services we provide The Council have always been very supportive of the many and varied organisations that exist in Myland. Having lived in the area for almost 50 years the changes that have taken place are extensive but Myland remains a wonderful place to live and it is the people that make this possible. Paul Horwood 12
