Footpath clearing
Those people who walk along the footpath by the river between the Moot and the Millennium Green will have noticed the huge improvement due to the clearance of stinging nettles, overhanging trees and brambles. This is all thanks to a group of volunteers made up of members of the Downton Society, the Moot working group and members of the community who set to work recently. Here they are taking a welcome break from the heat!
