Construction of Boardwalk begins

The new boardwalk footpath which will link Middle and West Wichel is now under construction. Contractors Keystone are constructing the slightly raised route which will allow the route to be used all year round.

Running alongside Kingfisher Island the route will connect into the housing areas via a series of bridges crossing the watercourses.

A fangtastic new home for Wichelstowe’s bat population has been unveiled – a specially designed bat cave that forms part of a wider conservation effort in the area.

Now, the bats have a brand new, purpose-built replacement designed to recreate their lost habitat.

Two new litter pick stations have been installed at Wichelstowe, making it easier than ever for local residents to help keep the community looking its best.

The stations, located by the pond to the north of West Wichel and near the lakes in East Wichel, will provide easy access to litter picking equipment for anyone keen to get involved in maintaining the area’s green spaces and surroundings
