Land Sale
Doug reports that their landowners, Farmcare, are selling all the Down Ampney estate land. It remains to be seen how long this will take and who will buy the land.
Licence to Work
In the meantime, the group has signed a two-year licence to work. This allows them to carry out repairs to the aqueduct walls, as well as get on with smaller jobs. Fencing repairs, anyone?
Wednesday Work Parties
Vince Osgood, work site manager, and his team have been working on the wing walls of the lock. Anyone fancy making a lock gate for them? Volunteers are most welcome to join Vince and co at their regular Wednesday work parties. Contact vince.osgood@lattonbasin.info for details.
Cricklade WI
Doug, together with Jan Flanagan from the group, gave a presentation to Cricklade WI this month. Doug said, “I would like to thank all the WI members for making us welcome and for the donation to our funds. I hope they found it interesting and will perhaps visit us sometime”.
Cricklade Town Festival
On Sunday 9th June, Latton Basin will have two pitches at Cricklade Town Festival – their display marquee and a plant stall run by Jan to raise funds. The festival is always a good day out for all the family, so please support it if you can and visit the Latton Basin group as well.
