  1. Please can you inform me of the plans to extend the nature reserve from the ponds to the rear of 22 to 28 Pilford Avenue. We have recieved correspondence from the council stating that they wish to erect a 6 foot fence at the rear of our properties
    on the boundry of the the orginal railway line. In consideration of the Council plans we want to know if we need to make our properties secure.

    Thank you

    Mrs Brenda Jones

    • The actual nature reserve already occupies all the land along to the iron bridge at Old Pats.
      The council fencing plans are, I believe, in response to some adjacent land owners encroaching onto council property.
      The Friends of Pilley Bridge Nature Reserve currently have no plans to open up the area beyond the ponds.
