Work party open up new route
A group of us met on a cold winters day to open up a bridleway that is on maps but had disappeared and was no longer used. The council have put a lovely new gate in off the road but there was no clear route. Well armed with brush cutters, loppers, chain saw we cleared the route K from the road down to where it joins an existing track (see below map). This is now usable and hopefully will not get too wet. We will come back and put way marker posts up in due course.
We also started work on the new permissive route (P2) which joins route K to route J and avoids the road. This route is not yet usable as there is a very wet patch where we plan to put in a drainage pipe. We hope to do this as soon as ground has hopefully dried up a little more.
Watch this space for updates and info on work parties.
Work Party Saturday 23rd Feb 10:00 – 12:00
Work party before nesting season starts to clear permissive route at back of The Green and route from new gate to 3 springs (Route K).
Hope to get a good turn out and then we should be able to finish in no more than a couple of hrs.
Please bring gloves, loppers, brush cutters, saws etc.
Meet 10:00am on the car park at The Mounts unless you hear otherwise.

Path Clearance Work Party (Needed Before 1st March)
I have now received confirmation from SWT that we can start work on the permissive route behind The Green and the route from the new bridleway gate by The Green across to the 3 Springs (route K). The paperwork for the permissive route has been signed by the relevant people in SWT.
I know winter still is very much with us but we do need to do any major vegetation clearance projects before 1st March (to avoid nesting season). I propose we have work party on Saturday 23rd or Sunday 24th Feb say 10:00 to 12:00. We can discuss at our meeting on the 20th and confirm date then.
Please try to help.
Shropshire Council outdoor recreation survey 2013
To help improve Shropshire Councils services they undertake an annual outdoor recreation satisfaction survey and they would like to hear from us. In these days of stringent financial measures your responses will help them identify key areas for maintenance and development.
The survey should only take about 15 minutes and is in three parts:
Part 1 is about Rights of Way (footpaths and bridleways maintained by Shropshire Council)
Part 2 is about Parks, play areas and countryside sites managed by Shropshire Council
Part 3 asks for details about yourself.
You can fill in either or both parts 1 and 2, but please complete part 3.
Below is a link to their short questionnaire.
The closing date for responses is 31st March 2013.
