Unbelievably, after a Saturday when there was no break in the rain, Sunday 4th September dawned bright and dry much to the relief of MCIB. With the help of the brilliantly talented entertainer Steve Burton, who compered the event, as well as singing, the audience were entertained by a host of local talent. The concert was opened with rousing tunes from the Ellenbrook and Boothstown Brass Band and the audience were then entertained by vocalists Grace Luisa, Albert Thompson and Marie Paisey as well as local favourites Chonkinfeckle (featuring Emma) and the talented duo Simpatico. Rounding the whole thing off, were Young Once whose rollicking rendition of ‘Always look on the bright side of life’ led to a community dance on the Common. All
agreed that it was the best concert so far! Make a note: Sunday 3rd September 2017 - Noon Start Many thanks to WLH for their support of this free Community event
It didn’t rain on our parade!

Mosley Common in Bloom would like to
thank Maxilead Metals who have given
mammoth amounts of support over the
last 3 years to our group for current and on
-going projects and events, without which
so much would not have been possible.
Anti-social behaviour After two ASB meetings which were attended by councillors, representatives from local schools, the Restorative Justice team, and the School of Military as well as a local police officer and residents from Mosley Common and surround-ing areas, we are pleased to report that there seems to have been a reduction (although not complete cessation) of anti-social behaviour in the neighbour-hood. We will continue to monitor the situation and inform residents of forth-coming meetings when they are deemed necessary. In the meantime, please remember to dial 101 to report any unwanted behaviour.
The Copse Biodiversity Project
The work on this is painstaking and can be hampered by the weather and time restrictions of the small number of volunteers, but rest assured that we are pushing ahead with clearing the wooded area at the bottom of the playing fields ready for the creation of a nature trail for the enjoyment of the whole neighbourhood. We desperately need more hands to help with this, as many hands make light work, and we would love more community members to get in-volved, and are therefore appealing for help. So if you can offer any time, please contact us at our email address for further information. This really is a worthwhile project and will help attract wildlife to the area as well as reduce ASB.
CAMEO FRIENDSHIP GROUP
Cameo holds meetings every other Tuesday in St John’s Church Lounge from 1.30pm onwards. Meet new friends, take part in quizzes and games or just have a chat.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION: MCIB are constantly working to make improvements to the area, with the aim of reducing ASB, keeping the area clean, tidy and wel-coming for the benefit of residents and visitors and encouraging use of our outdoor leisure spaces, with a focus on health and wellbeing. This is to safeguard these spaces and help prevent loss or any change of use for housing developments etc. Outdoor community space is a luxury and in Mosley Common we are very lucky to have so much. With Councils under pressure to con-stantly reduce spending on maintenance and release assets, it is more important than ever that we use and care for it. The goal posts we provided have been a great success and are proving very popular. With this in mind, our latest project is to help make the playing field more user friendly and safe for all potential users. The project is for a track (path, all around the field). This will make the field (which can get very wet and boggy in places) more accessible and useable for all, especially during the wetter, colder months. We hope to include signs giving information such as distance , calories burned, health benefits etc to help inspire and motivate people, whether walking around, wheeling, running or cycling. The focus will be on moving and healthy activity. We hope this will encourage everyone; mums with prams, wheelchair users, mobility scooters, children on bicycles, joggers, dog walkers etc, to use the path round the field and enjoy the space. The path will be inset, well inside the boulders and seats, with a hard surface (type to be confirmed). Please complete, the scan and email or return the following to 31, Gilda Road, M28 1BA or 20 Dunster Rd M28 1AY
