Grants up to 50% of capital costs

Grants can fund equipment, tools and more

Volunteers work improve the foothpath along Plough Road
Burstow Parish Council are working in conjunction with Community Volunteers to improve the accessibility of the footpath along Plough Road.
Over time the width of the path has narrowed to the extend that for much of it it is not possible for 2 people walking alongside each other. This is due to overgrowth on up to a third of the width of the path.
Whilst we can’t do anything about the telegraph pole in the middle of the path, the Community Volunteers will be working to clear the overgrowth to help pedestrians, particularly those with children who walk to and from the school.
Hopefully everyone will appreciate the work being done and be supportive to those doing the work if you see them.
