This is madepossible by money raised by National Lottery players. It focuses on installing anew boardwalk alongside the River Bourne with associated information boardsand includes the thirteenth sign in the Salisbury Bee Trail.Supported through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the scheme will enable localyoung people not only to research and design the interpretative boards which willbe placed alongside the boardwalk and River Bourne but also design and researchthe interactive Bee sign that will form part of the City Bee Trail.Laverstock and Ford Parish Council has three secondary schools in the Parish andintends to work with these pupils and groups at the local Community Farm overthe next two years to make them more aware of their local environmental andhistorical heritage and in particular the River Bourne which forms part of theHampshire Avon Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation(SAC).Commenting on the award, Councillor Andy Birkett (Chair of Laverstock and FordParish Council) said: “We are thrilled to have received this support thanks to NationalLottery players and are confident the project will not only link physicallytwo areas of our Parish but also support young people learning about their environmentaland historical heritage.”Editors note: The Whitebridge Spinney was acquired bythe parish council as a planning gain as a result ofWimpy obtaining planning permission elsewhere.The boardwalk links the Spinney and River BourneRoad, with Whitebridge, via the riverbank, openingup the wonderful riverbank walk to all, throughoutthe year.The existing woodwork, having been in place for over20 years is in urgent need of replacement.
