Meeting the communities of Wellington and Taunton


Andy and Richard hard at it in Taunton


Over the past couple of weeks, our team has been actively engaging with the communities of Wellington and Taunton to discuss r the Grand Western greenway. These community events have beenf inspiring, as we interacted with a diverse group of people interested about sustainable transportation and active travel.




Connecting with Supporters


Our main objective during these events was to connect with supporters of the Grand Western Greenway while also reaching out to those interested in becoming part of this project. We are pleased to say that we have successfully signed up almost 50 new supporters, paving the way for a more inclusive and engaged community.


Embracing Sustainable Travel


The heart of our discussions revolved around the concept of sustainable and active travel through the picturesque countryside away from pollution and noise of travelling on the road. The Grand Western greenway aims to provide a safe and traffic-free route for cyclists, walkers, and even wheelchair users to explore the natural beauty ofthe area n while promoting physical and mental well-being.


Engaging with the Community


The events in Wellington and Taunton provided a platform for interesting conversations and creating useful connections. We had the opportunity to collaborate with various organizations and individuals who share our passion for promoting accessibility and health through outdoor activities. The enthusiasm and support we received were encouraging and solidify our belief in the importance of community engagement.



Looking Towards the Future


As we reflect on these events, we are keen to continue making the Grand Western greenway a reality. The feedback from the communities of Wellington and Taunton have been invaluable, shaping our approach and igniting a collective drive to create a more connected and sustainable future for all.


We are grateful for the warm reception we received and are excited to embark on this journey towards sustainable travel through the countryside, where every step or pedal push brings us closer to more connected communities.


Thank you for your support of the Grand Western greenway.


Stay tuned for more updates and initiatives as we devlop our organisation into a Community Interest Company (CIC), and how you can become involved in shaping our future
