Programme of Community Events for 2020
Join us on 25th January at 2pm
We’d like to develop a programme of community events for 2020. Our 2019 activities were really well attended and we’d like to build on those. So, with this in mind, we are planning a community meeting on Saturday 25th January at 2pm, at Coppice Library, and anyone who would like to share ideas or suggestions, or who would like to help us at our future events, is very welcome to come along. Let us know if you will be joining us, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Can you help create a new bridleway?
As we mentioned in one of our recent newsletters, a claim is being prepared by Ramblers Trafford to create a new legal bridleway, linking two existing rights of way on Carrington Moss. The bridleway will be about 15 feet wide, on a good-surfaced path in the vicinity of the Flare Stack, as shown in yellow on the map. The claim will be submitted shortly, so if you can add to the evidence that has been recorded to date, June Mabon would like to hear from you as soon as possible.

If you walk, cycle or ride your horse on this path your evidence of using the path will be very helpful to the claim. Contact June Mabon by email at right.of.way.campaign@gmail.com and she will send you a form to fill in about your use of the path. Please drop June a note, even if you have already filled in an evidence of use form about several possible new rights of way a few months ago.
