Railway StationWe can't even begin to express our joy at the announcement that Wellington will have its railway station reinstated! For us it means the developments around it will almost certainly go ahead on both sides of the line, and this means the haul road the Network Rail will build will become incorporated into the active travel plan from the station to Tonedale. By coincidence, this also happens to be the first 500m of the Greenway, and will provide links to the Toneworks development as well as the natural joining spot for a proposed path from Langford Budv ille to Wellington. Â Are you a landowner?If so, if your land is along the river valley from Wellington to Taunton, we would love to hear from you. We don't really know the route of the proposed Greenway, but we have many thoughts and ideas which will doubtless mature as we discuss these with you. Four significant landowners have already indicated their wish to accommodate this project, but we need to talk to everyone, and to get those talks going very soon. Â Walk the GreenwayThe next (and probably last for 2025) walk along the Greenway is planned for 16th August. Details below. |

Linking CommunitiesThe Greenway has never been solely about getting from Wellington to Taunton. Our plan has always included linking many smaller communities in the area either along separate paths or by making use of Quiet Lanes. Have a look at the recently added interactive map on our website to see some of the suggestions being discussed in local government and beyond. Â |
