WHITLINGHAM GREAT BROAD PATH RESTORATION WORK

Picture

We want to say a huge thank you to Norfolk County Council for our Norfolk Social Infrastructure Fund grant of £100,000. This grant will allow us to continue our work to restore the path around the Great Broad, improving the access for wheelchair users and giving everybody the chance to
enjoy Whitlingham Country Park.

We are incredibly grateful to The Norwich Freemen's Charity whose help kickstarted the whole project, also The Broads Landscape Partnership, Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund and GB Driveways. This is a true example of everybody working better together for Norfolk.

Please be patient while the work is on, expect closures, diversions with plant and machinery moving around the site. Everyone is working hard to get this done and its a lot easier with your help. Follow us on Facebook​or check here for updates.
