Litter Busters - picking up on more than just litter.

The website below is run by residents who are concerned with the impact that the proposed redevelopment will have on Oldbury and the Severn Vale.
They have variety of personal views, but share one main concern: that the redevelopment will go ahead without people really understanding what is at stake until it is too late.

10am-4pm, meet at Sheiling School, Park Road, Thornbury BS35 1HP
Friends of Park Farm Medieval Fishponds have arranged an archaeological survey of two of the historic ponds within the Sheiling School estate.
The details of this event are yet to be finalised. However it is likely to be of another pond on land owned by Camphill Communities Thornbury (of which the Sheiling School is part). The good news is that this pond is DRY.
The survey will be led by Paul Driscoll (the South Gloucestershire Council Community Archaeologist). Training will be provide under the auspices of the SCARP initiative, a Heritage Lottery Funded project to help local groups research their historic environment.
Participants should bring packed lunches and drinks. A room will be provided for lunch breaks, and toilet facilities will be available. As this investigation is taking place in the Winter it is very weather dependent. Suitable clothing and footwear are essential. In the event that the weather prevents work on site, we will be looking into what can be done to occupy the time we are unable to work.
For more information, please contact Dave Rowley on 01454 412941 or by email below. He will email interested parties with more details nearer the date.
