What NOT to be
doing.
A number of people are keen to be
DOING something about the gardens. You will see on the Latest
News and Newsletter page about the Weeding session which we had,
and future gardening Saturdays.
However it is vital that NOBODY just goes and does some weeding -
or other work for that matter - on their own, without joining
the Friends.
There are issues of Health & Safety and insurance involved,
even when harmless-looking activities are being undertaken,
nowadays.
The reason for not even doing a bit of unscheduled weeding is that
many beds have been weeded and then treated to prevent serious new
growth of weeds. If this treatment is disturbed by well
meaning people "having a go, to help out", the careful planning of
their maintenance by Suffolk Coastal Services will be thrown
out of order.

Many of the sort of people who want to do this will not be online
and see this warning, but for those who are, it is vital that
any action by anybody is taken in consultation and
co-operation with the Suffolk Coastal Services Team and the Friends
of Felixstowe Seafront

We would ask members to discourage unauthorised people from doing
anything without
asking.
