Walking the walk

A road is to be built over, and adjacent to, the Railway Line Walk and constructed straight through the neighbouring wetlands which are home to many birds, animals & wildflowers.

The route of the road also compromises the integrity of the Railway Line Walk by bringing traffic, noise and other human activity along the side of the walk. This disrupts the peaceful nature of the walk, disturbs the wildlife of the area and in the process destroys a wetland, which is home to Herons, Mallards, Cootes and Moorhens.

Your support is needed to call on the councilors and officials of Westport Town Council to stop this road way. Please attend!
