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.

Weston & Fiveways - marker posts

Having had a successful morning over at Purslow Wood we decided to keep the momentum by installing a couple of marker posts that had been nagging at Mike for a few months. 

One of these was to go in near to Weston Farm on the way to the bat sanctuary at Cwm and the other at the head of the track at Fiveways leading down to Gripes Nest.

The whole job including travel only took about 90 minutes and was well worth the effort. All we need now is to get the tamper fixed!!
