A big, big THANK YOU to everyone who bought a Lotto Ticket, ticked a survey box, wrote letters of support, and especially those who pledged donations. Without each of those actions this would quite siimply not have been achieved. Now the work begins! We need to build it, furnish it, fit it out and equip it!

Some have also been kind enough to compliment the PayBack Team on all the good work they are doing there to keep the grass trimmed so we can read the various inscriptions - some of which reveal both heart-rending stories and, in contrast, some very interesting uses of our English language!This activity has made possible our completing the St Thomas a’Becket Burial Ground Project to the point where the work thus far can now be made public and viewed.

Nidderdale Greenway Extension There has been an ambition for at least 25 years to have a path – the Nidderdale Greenway Extension - from Harrogate through Nidderdale to Pateley Bridge and as far as Scar House Reservoir. The current Greenway opened in 2014 from Harrogate to Ripley and is very popular with walkers, cyclists, wheelchair users and horse riders of all ages and abilities. [Note: Of immediate concern is that the Horseshoe Path which connects the Greenway to the bottom of Clint Bank has become virtually impassable. The local action group, Hampsthwaite Pathfinders, has made some progress to seek a solution - more of this to follow.]
