There is a lot of work happening at the moment on the land at the back of our stretch of the River, a new fence has been erected to the left of our drive from the entrance gate and most of the way down.
This wooden fence is a temporary measure until a permanent metal fence is installed.
It has actually improved things from our perspective as a lot of the troublesome Brambles have been removed.
Although it may look at this stage that we have lost some of the parking when the permanent fence is fitted we will get those areas back plus a couple of additional pull ins.
If anyone has any concerns please let me know.
Some new pegs have been reclaimed towards the bottom of the stretch thanks to the hard work of mainly Rick Shore.
