Following our success in other parts of Two Mile Ash, your local environmental group has started a new project – an enhancement scheme for Kepwick. This long residential street that runs parallel to the High Street in the village centre forms part of a significant pedestrian route leading to and from Great Holm. Kepwick is an attractive, intimate place with many well kept properties, however there are examples of overgrown vegetation, uncared for ‘no-man’s land and other things which need tidying up.
Our work began on Saturday 26 April when a ten strong team which included local residents tackled the turning area at the eastern end of Kepwick, the associated woodland edge and the footpath connection to Capian Walk. In a little over two hours, our hard working volunteers transformed the environment in this area – some ‘before’, ‘during’ and ‘after’ pictures follow.
A Comment from Lydia –
‘It was a fun morning which combined working amongst greenery and friends and even a cup of coffee and a fig roll!. The feedback that we received from Two Mile Ashers, walking past was very encouraging and supportive and the morning was both enjoyable and was a very worthwhile voluntary project to become involved with. I am looking forward to a repeat performance, in the Kepwick area on Saturday 7th June”
The Future
TMAEG plans a further working session in Kepwick on Saturday morning June 7th – starting at 0930 and . We plan to enhance some further areas of ‘public realm. We are also willing to work with individual residents where improvements on land associated with their property would benefit the street and area as a whole. Here is one example of earlier action by a local resident showing the sort of thing that might be done. But there will be many other possibilities.
