Apologies for the delayed post! Many thanks to all who helped on the litter pick held on the 29th June 2019. We performed a big clean up on the section of proposed greenway near the Fox and Grapes and western end of Greenside tunnel.
Take a look at some other projects

Litter Pick Report #2
Many thanks to all the volunteers that came out on a rainy Saturday morning to help us clear litter from the proposed route of the Greenway. We cleared several bags of rubbish from the footpaths running from Lowtown to Robin Lane.

We continue to campaign against the rail cutting full infill planning application which is currently still undecided. We understand the developer is reconsidering the pending planning application.
