Rasen Area Environmental Group adopted a constitution during a meeting at Queen Streets CLIP Cafe.
In an effort to work with them, contact is being made with Tealby and Walesby Parish Councils.
Coun Stephen Bunney, the Market Rasens mayor, has long wanted to create a formal group and is pleased that this has been accomplished.
He said that while there are a lot of projects that the group is looking at for Market Rasen as a whole, it is also important to feed the surrounding areas.
We have always had a lot of volunteers for our litter picks in our town. Talking to them, we learned that there are concerns about the environment as a whole.
We hope that this group can bring together these concerns and show us how we can work together for the improvement of our environment.
The wasteland at the corner of Chapel Street & Linwood Road is one of the major projects that the group would like the group to tackle.
Talks with Tesco, the landowners, have been ongoing about this site but there has been little progress.
The group would love to see a community garden, similar to the ones at Faldingworth or Donington on Bain.
Plans are being made for an environment fair.
The next meeting of the groups will be Tuesday, April 26th at 6pm in the CLIP Cafe. Two guests will share their experiences with community gardening projects.
Anyone is welcome to attend and learn more about the meeting.
