Oakham Canal Green Corridor Project Urgently Needs Woodchip Donations

The Oakham Canal Green Corridor Project is facing a critical shortage of woodchip, jeopardising the maintenance of vital footpaths throughout the winter months.

"Our woodchip store is completely empty," explains a spokesperson for the project. "Without this essential material, we simply cannot maintain the footpaths and ensure safe access for local residents and visitors."

The project is now appealing to tree surgeons and gardeners in the area to consider donating any surplus woodchip.

"If you have any woodchip available, we would be incredibly grateful if you could drop it off at our storage location off Ashwell Road, just past the end of Oakham Enterprise Park (heading north)," the spokesperson urges.

The Oakham Canal Green Corridor Project plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the canal and surrounding areas, enhancing access for the local community.

To further support the project, residents are encouraged to participate in their monthly working groups. The next working group will take place on February 16th between 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM.
