Dates for Ethelburt Avenue working parties are confirmed as:
Sat 21st Nov 2020 – upper team
Sat 20th Feb 2021 – middle team
Sat 15th May 2021 – lower team
The intention is to retain the previous format of nominal upper, middle and lower teams, but volunteers are welcome to whichever of these dates they can make. As always, these groups are a good way to get out, get active and get to know others in the road whilst helping to keep the road usable for everyone. I will contact all volunteers in advance about arrangements to ensure we remain strictly within the Covid-19 law. Activities for each session start around 9am at the top of Ethelburt Avenue. If you have any queries, please email
I have been getting quotes for pothole repairs and overlay of the tarmac surfaces at the top and bottom ends of the road. I hope shortly to contract for the work at the lowest quote. The plan is to have the tarmac surface-dressed in the summer to give it an appearance more in keeping with the gravel road.
