River clearance at Tice’s Meadow
Enjoying a well-earned cuppa!
River clearance day and it was raining cats and dogs!
Nevertheless, a fantastic amount of work was achieved with the Partnership volunteers, as part of the Festival.
Vegetation was cut back to let light into the river and to prepare the site for a new path surface.
