This morning FOSWMT, two residents from Greville Road and Stamco all helped FOSWMT to repair the footpath bridge on the frederick Road to Victoria Avenue registered footpath. The replacement bridge was made from three railway sleepers and some 1/4" mild steel bar. The Trust hope that the replacement bridge will stand up better to the vandalism.

Clearance of Rubbish in Speckled Wood

24th April 2013 

CLEARANCE OF RUBBISH IN THE SPECKLED WOOD
The trust received delivery of a skip in the Frederick Road entrance of Speckled Wood and have been busy for 3 weeks filing it with tons of metal and other fly tipped rubbish that has accumulated over the years. 5 skip loads were taken from the lower part of the woodland by Friends of Speckled Wood management Trust, from old water tanks and tyres to parts of beds and bicycles. Many of these had to be dug out from the stream and other places in the lower part.

Sadly the skip had to be removed after 3 weeks because of 3 complaints from the public about it.
