April 2025 Work Party

The work party for 19th April 2025 consisted of 7 volunteers with over 55 hours of work being carried out in the spring sunshine. The work party was very productive with the planned work being progressed as follows:

  • South of the Longley Farm crossing the ditches were cleared on both sides. 100m on west side of the cutting using a micro digger and 80m on the east side  .
  • 8 tonnes of ditch arisings from the west side were removed to a designated site near the Balvlair crossing.

Other points to note:

  • Further drainage works required south of Longley to remove ditch arisings 
  • Investigate if existing railway drainage pipes can be found and cleared south of Longley Crossing
