ABOUT US

Bucknell P3 (Parish Path Partnership) Group was formed in December 2006 (local Coordinator: Mike Starr (01547 530179)

A P3 Group consists of local volunteers who liaise with Shropshire Council to help improve the condition of Countrywide Access and Rights of Way in their area.

Bucknell and Bedstone parish was designated an “Action Area” for 2007-8 (along with Stowe, Hopton Castle and Clungunford). During this period the Council improved the condition and accessibility of the Rights of Way in these parishes which entailed renewing or refurbishing stiles, gates, sign posts etc.

When this was completed, the P3 Group monitored the paths and assisted in their maintenance where feasible. This could include removing undergrowth, repairing stiles etc. The Council runs courses and provide the necessary tools.

At present the group comprises 7 volunteers. Anyone who has an interest in our local Rights of Way and wishes to join the group should contact Mike Starr.

Alternatively, if anyone simply has any comments to make about the condition of the paths in the parish and surrounding area, then please let Mike Starr know.

Honeyhole - path clearance

This path had been nagging at Mike for some time and so today we made an early start. We parked at Fiveways and walked down the fields to the path in question. It leads north to a large field and the path was pretty well impassable and greatly in need of some tlc.

Mike set to with the brush cutter and we were soon into our stride, only stopping for a slight mechanical malfunction and a coffee break.

We completed the job in just over 2 hours and I emerged with numerous scratches courtesy of the spiteful brambles and blackthorn.
