The newsletter aims to update you with recent key developments which have taken place and to inform you of forthcoming events and opportunities to become involved. Like you, I look forward to the day, hopefully in the not too distant future when wheels will be rolling over the viaduct again as this magnificent piece of engineering is brought back into use as a walking and cycling trail. The community is rightly proud of this majestic example of our industrial heritage. There is only one other viaduct like Bennerley in the country so it really is a local and national treasure. My thanks to you all for the magnificent support and the vision that you are bringing to the project. With best wishes Kieran Lee Bennerley Viaduct Project (Sustrans: Community Development Officer) [email protected] 18/08/2016 The award winning Friends of Bennerley Viaduct collect their trophy and certificates at the recent Nottinghamshire Community Greenwood awards ceremony.
