For example, the Country and Ecology Parks and nature reserve in Cranbrook were delivered as Section 106 obligations on land which used to sustain a dairy farm. The Town Council owns and maintains the Country Park in its entirety which is subject to a Country Park Management Plan and several hedgebank management plans, which in turn are planning conditions. The Ecology Park will transfer to the Town Council when it is delivered in its entirety. This role extends to the management and maintenance of every piece of public open space in Cranbrook, including verges, hedgerows across public open spaces and housing parcels, sports pitches and sustainable urban drainage features – and the improvement of those areas.You will be expected to promote and enhance the importance of the town’s natural environment through managing the day-to-day and strategic maintenance of the public open spaces, by promoting and protecting the public open spaces across Cranbrook, contributing to our environmental education service and public events programme and by utilising our network of volunteers.
