What we are doing
We are temporarily closing two public rights of way that cross the land to the west of Casey Lane, just to the north of Casey Lane Stables for two weeks. This is so we can safely trim back the existing vegetation and put up fencing.
The public right of way, which goes west to east from Casey Lane to Mere Road will be temporarily closed from the point where it crosses the public right of way to Newcastle Road.
During the closure, there will be no access to Casey Lane from either footpath. There will also be a temporary diversion east to west of the public right of way so that we can carry out our initial works.
This work is the start of our work to create a broadleaf woodland habitat. This woodland is to act as a wildlife corridor between the existing woodland. In addition to the woodland planting, we shall be erecting bird and bat boxes.
Once we fence off the area, we will begin work to dig some archaeological trial pits.
When the work will take place
We will start the work on 4 April. We will begin the work to create the woodland habitat once we have carried out the archaeological work. This will be ongoing throughout the year.
