Local volunteers come together to improve Thameside path 👏 A big thank you to Loddon Valley Ramblers (LVR) and local residents who have worked together to improve the Thameside path in Sonning. The first phase of resurfacing work took place last autumn, when the eastern end of Sonning Footpath 1, which connects Sonning and Charvil along the southern bank of the Thames, was improved to make the route much easier to access. Volunteers recently came together again to complete the western section through to Sonning Bridge. The muddy route had become increasingly difficult to navigate, and these improvements will help make the path more accessible for everyone to enjoy. Residents and LVR volunteers joined forces in almost equal numbers, creating one of the largest working parties the group has ever assembled. Reading University also supported the project by allowing access across its land for material deliveries. This project is a great example of what can be achieved when local groups and residents work together. Photo: Ray Sharp, LVR
