With autumn
well upon us the Land & Water team are now working towards the finishing
line at Studley Grange reporting works
80% completed. Kate Jones (project officer for the wildlife trail) is lining up
a big team of local volunteers to start work on planting and installation of
bat and bird boxes and interpretation boards as soon as the towpath surface is
completed and the site is handed back to the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust.
The Project
Board met this week to review progress
on current projects and this time to
appoint Sheila Wade as Project Manager for 7 Locks and to approve the
scope for a project that
will initially manage the current site and go on to seek planning permissions to complete Locks
1-5.
Following the
AGM approval for the change in management structure for WBCT details of the
proposals are being discussed with an
aim to create an executive team as soon as possible.
...and
finally – great news from the Boat Team -this year’s Santa trips are 80% booked
already and the work on skew bridge is
due to be completed shortly, the scaffolding removed and the canal reopened to allow trips back to
Kingshill.
