Thank you to all who wrote in support of the bid for funding for landscaping work in the bay. The bid was rejected this time but we shall re-apply. However we were granted funding towards an information board detailing wildlife in the area. It will be designed by Boris Moscoff and will be located on the back of the shelter.
(See www.wwlp.co.uk for news of successful bids.)
