We are making good progress on a number of fronts but are facing a few issues that will delay the formal opening of the full route. On the positive side we have been granted £24750 by Plain Action and a grant of £5000 from the Tidworth Area Board. So far we have raised over £10000 from our members with more to come. The line of the southern half of the trail (from the A342 to Stonehenge) is more or less fixed (although I need to meet Simon Banton again for his advice around Figheldean). There is huge enthusiasm for the route from the general public, The Ramblers and the specialist walking and tourism media. We have had good coverage in the local press and on local radio and TV. Wiltshire Council have given their provisional support but ..... .... there has been some resistance from villages in the Vale of Pewsey and from Avebury. All agree that the GSW is a good idea and support it ‘in principle’ but I think it is fair to say that each wants it to go through the next village and not theirs! In addition we have been asked by the World Heritage Site management, the National Trust and others to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on the route before we finalise it. We are agreeing to conduct an EIA, and in addition to set up an advisory group and to develop management plans for each section of the trail. All this will take time and therefore we will not be opening the GSW as early as we had hoped. However I am confident that all we are facing is a small delay. We are only proposing using existing Rights of Way and could have gone ahead without the extensive consultation we are doing. By being open and inclusive in our approach we have made more work for ourselves, but so be it. When the GSW opens we will have done all we can to ensure that we have taken into account the views of as many interested parties as possible. On another positive note, I am very pleased to tell you that we are still going ahead with a walk through your area on Saturday 26th March. The walk will be 14 miles long, from Casterley Camp to Stonehenge, with a shorter option from Netheravon. We will probably be calling it the Plain and Avon Valley walk and it will be to raise funds for the GSW. We are going to be encouraging our members to take part but it will be open to anyone who wishes to join us. We envisage walkers starting from Casterley between 10am and 11am. We will be providing a shuttle bus for them to get back to their cars and we will have porta-loos at Casterley and at the car park near the Durrington golf driving range. We will be encouraging walkers to use the pubs and shops in the Avon Valley for refreshments. Would any villages be prepared to open the toilets in your village halls or churches for walkers to use? Are there any things you would like to suggest we should include in the information for walkers? If you have any questions about the above or anything else about the GSW, please get in touch With best wishes Ian Ritchie ([email protected]) ALL SAINTS PRIMARY SCHOOL NETHERAVON NEWS RELEASE – FEBRUARY 2011 All Saints Primary School in Netheravon are holding a double celebration with an excellent Ofsted Report which rates the school as ‘Good’ with features of ‘outstanding’ teaching practice and a brand new extension to the popular school. Mrs Hayley Humphris, Head Teacher, who was delighted to share the report with parents said: “The good progress made since the last Ofsted inspection two and a half years ago has been recognised and the school has the capacity to become ‘Outstanding’.” Inspectors recognised the school provides a well-organised, safe and secure environment where “first rate induction arrangements” help new arrivals settle quickly into the school’s welcoming setting. A very happy parent commented: “Really impressed by the way the school has met our child’s needs.” endorsing Ofsted’s belief that “Children feel safe, secure and grow in confidence.” Parents are also im- pressed with the school’s caring ethos, with all who returned the questionnaires being happy with their children’s experience at school.
