Work Camp Project: Surfacing and landscaping the new towpath at Tamworth Road.
This now completes this section of towpath which has been funded by a Local Heritage Initiative Grant of £7300
awarded by the Countryside Agency.
Joanne "Smudge" Smith led the WRG camp of about 16 volunteers. They all got stuck into the job on the Sunday, levelling the towpath and laying dumper loads of crushed stone. They got soaked on the Sunday, but the skies brightened up and the rest of the week at Lichfield was superb.
They all worked so hard and enthusiastically, moving in total 4 lorry loads (64 tonnes in all) of crushed stone. WRG also put in an interpretation board, a bench and planted a new section of hedge alongside the Millennium Lock to transform what seemed like a building site into a wonderful mini Towpath Trail. Many thanks to all volunteers.
