So what are we planning next?

2024 was a frustrating year in that the works to replace the floodgates prevented us from accessing the full length of the path, and also prevented access to the Worsall Road path (which was originally closed following damage to the boardwalks). With the floodgate work now complete we can begin project planning for the remainder of 2025 and beyond with our principal attention being directed towards a commencement of the Worsall Road remedial work including the construction of new boardwalks.

The main proposed additional areas of work, besides our normal maintenance activity, are :

1 Planting plans for the True Lovers Walk path

2 Bank stabilisation measures

3 Invasive Species control (especially Himalayan Balsam)

4 Commencement of remedial & re-opening works on the

Worsall Road path

5 New member induction and Training

6 Current Members’ Training programme

7 Fundraising

8 Finance Planning for WR path
