“Not forgetting the ladies who provided lunch and refreshments for all.

“This path, which will be completed by the end of the month, will provide enhanced access for wheelchair and buggy users.”

The improvements have been funded by East Cambs District Council and Sanctuary Housing.

The path is just the first of the major planned enhancements to the woodland space.
