Walkers are Welcome – Community Spring Litter Clean Up Commences 10th March

Whitchurch Walkers are Welcome are commencing their community spring litter-picking sessions this Thursday morning 10th March 10.00 am to 11.30 am.

As usual:

We will meet up at the Bell Street car park (please be prompt for a 10.00 am start), and litter bags should be brought back to that point if possible so that bags can be put into the (locked) B&DBC litter bins. Please dress for the weather, and wear stout shoes and gloves. Wash hands thoroughly after the session. Please continue to observe social distancing. We have some litter picking sticks but, if you have one yourself, please bring it.  We will supply sacks.

If you are interested in joining in on Thursday, please let us know so that we can confirm the arrangements and provide any updated information. Contact, Barry Carter barryjcarter99@gmail.com

Whitchurch Conservation Group – Grant Success – New Bridge for Town Mill Lane

Breaking News! It is with huge JOY and more than a dollop of relief that WCG can announce that we have won funding in the Loddon and Test LEADER programme for a rural tourism project.

Deliverables will include a new, accessible bridge from Town Mill Lane to Pound Meadow as well as interpretation boards along the Mill Trail, leaflets and audio (pictures of both the current bridge and boards below) together with funding to establish a long distance ‘Test & Dever Way’ circular trail south of Whitchurch to link with the Watercress Way trail at Sutton Scotney.    

The total amount of Loddon & Test funding is £43,926.24 (in addition to match-funding of 10k).This brings the total amount of revenue achieved by WCG since March 2021 to just short of £150,000.

Thank you, Lucie, Jackie and Andy Whitchurch Conservation Group
