PROWD (footpaths)

Public Rights of Way Defenders - PROWD

We had our last meeting on 28th August where we were joined by Tom Low and Nick Peters (from Whitminster). Both Tom and Nick gave us some important information about the Phase 1a canal project, and asked if we could support their cause, which includes creating a new PROW within the scheme. I have sent a letter of support to the Canal Group.

We also welcomed Vanessa Cousins to our meeting and she told us about her new ' Eastington Community Walking Group', which is a natural ' companion ' to the PROWD group.

We have organised more walks since our August meeting, and there is another one arranged for

18th October at 2.00pm, starting from the Old Badger (see notice boards outside the Co-op and Old Badger for information).

The path improvements at the bottom of Middle Street (EEA56 ) and at 'Sixways' (EEA60) have now been completed and it is a pleasure to walk that route,..... without the mud!

My thanks, again, to Alan Loveridge for such a lovely ' job done', and also to the Parish Council for their financial support.

Vanessa, Sally and I, did some footpath clearing on Friday 4th September. We nearly completed clearing EEA48, but, we ran out of time (and I ran out of energy!), but it was very rewarding work.

So, as you can see, there is a lot going on " behind the scenes ".

Our next meeting is at 10.00 on Wednesday 28th October at the Kings Head Hotel

Come along if you can.

Tom Low has kindly printed copies of two maps, which were originally printed about 25 years ago, and they are available FREE, at the Kings Head Hotel and the Old Badger.

Thank you Tom.
