Hi all
It's the first workday of 2025 again and I am (still) very excited about this one!
Time to work off that Xmas & NY excess!
We are returning to St Martins Battery to finish the marvellous work started in march, carried on throughout the year by WCCP, and again by us in November, clearing scrub and W**d growth.
This is an area that has long been neglected and has been the focal point for antisocial behaviour and criminal damage and our hope is that by clearing it, not only will it look better, but it will be better protected and used.
This has been a complex project to get off the ground, championed and supported enthusiastically by the EH Liaison Officer, Sarah Horan, and requiring consents from DDC and Historic England to work on the monument and additional permissions to close the car park for the day! We have very tightly controlled areas of work so there will be a comprehensive briefing prior to the start of the work day and before any work can commence.
St Martin's car park will be closed to the public but available for use by anyone joining the work party and as usual all PPE etc will be supplied. This is a muddy site in places so proper footwear is essential.
***Please note*** We will be meeting at St Martin's battery car park for this work day and not at the Drop Redoubt as usual.
I look forward to seeing you there!
