I think it is fair to say that we have now got to the really difficult stage of the Studley Grange project! Winter weather has set in and the work is not yet complete. A number of options are being examined to see if any further progress can be made . It is particularly frustrating with probably only a week’s worth of excavation remaining and financial and external pressure to complete
Next week
the WBCT team are attending Wanborough Parish Council meeting to outline the
work being carried on the canal design as part of Swindon’s Eastern Villages
development.
A new
section of the canal line has become available
for potential purchase north of Melksham. It is not a straightforward
sale and apart from the obvious finance
required a number of other issues are
being closely considered before any progress can be made.
Don't forget you can always donate to the 'land fund' from which purchases like this are made.
The question
of office accommodation and location for
the Trust is also being considered in relation to current reorganisation and
other factors.
Finally the
Melksham Link project team led by Paul Lenaerts
are making final reviews of plans
and reports for the planning application. The current estimate is that
this additional information which includes the long awaited and lengthy Environment Statement will be
submitted to Wiltshire Council in a few weeks time
