I am grateful
to Dauntsey Parish Council for their contribution to the fund to update the
toilet at the Peterborough Arms to one that is DDA compliant. This should release the funds already agreed
from Malmesbury Area Board. Having met
up with a member of the Peterborough Arms Cricket Club the other night, I have
realised how much some of the local groups are missing the pub being open so it
has inspired me to push on with fundraising for the restoration. I am hoping that we can attract some European
funding for part of it.
At Studley
Grange preparations continue for the start of the work. We hope it will be next month. The appeal is doing well – just a few pounds
under £10K at £9994. Thank you to
everyone who has donated – every pound counts. Please keep them coming! If in the unlikely event there is any spare,
I shall put it to Chaddington Lane bridge, which is the next target, so we can
connect the new stretch up to Chaddington Lock.
This week the
branch manager of the Bristol branch of the Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) is
coming over to Pewsham to have a look at our progress with the culvert (YBS
funded the work with a £10K grant) and to present us with our Lasting Legacy
Award. I hope he is as impressed as I was
last time I was there – it looks amazing.
Ray Canter and his team are doing great work.
