New kissing gates to provide access to Broken Bridges?

14/07/2009

New kissing gates will provide access to the Broken Bridges nature reserve if a planning application is given approval from Wiltshire Council, it has been revealed.

The site is currently being used as agricultural land and features meadows on either side of the Broken Bridges footpath that runs between Lower Bemerton and Harnham, according to the Salisbury Journal.

Anne Trevett, a founding member of nature reserve group the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, told the newspaper that her organisation has had a lot of support from the old Salisbury District Council for the gates initiative and now the Wiltshire local authority appears to be behind the project.

"We are really looking to providing Salisbury with a great new open space in the very near future," she concluded.

In other recent area improvement news, gates were installed at the Duke Street entrance of Castle Park in Whitehaven.

The Mayor of Copeland was due to be on hand at their official opening.
