We are working with Resources for Change to complete an Audience Development Plan for the final 2.5km of the River Lambourn as it flows through Newbury, Berkshire.

 

The plans will support a bid in the region of £1 million to the Heritage Lottery Fund.  The project aims to bring badly needed improvements to a locally important green space as well as providing an opportunity to increase awareness of the river’s place in local history and its significant heritage value. It will provide a valuable educational opportunity to raise awareness of issues surrounding the way society interacts with local freshwater environments.

A key aim of the work with the Pang, Kennet & Lambourn Valley Countryside Project will be to carry out consultation which leads to increased community involvement and which leaves a good legacy in terms of improved and ongoing communication with the local community about the site.
