During the building works at the Avalon Marshes Centre, RSPB Ham Wall’s compost sales are temporarily suspended for safety reasons. Please bear with us while we work on a safe, alternative way of selling our peat-free compost to the public.
Natural England are pleased to announce that funding has now been secured for the development of new facilities at the Avalon Marshes Centre that will much improve the experience of visitors to the Avalon Marshes Landscape and its many nature reserves. Works will include upgrading of the Craft Centre, an improved sewerage system and a new joint office for the conservation organisations that manage the nationally important nature reserves. This work will also complement the historical reconstructions that are under construction by South West Heritage Trust and act as a catalyst to further develop the education and engagement activities on site. Though there will be disruption we plan to keep the site as operational as possible during this busy period and both Somerset Crafts and Eco friendly bites will be open for business as usual.
Natural England’s Management Contractors have been appointed and are on site. The works taking place mean there will be changes to the layout of the site and Natural England and its partners will be using email, Facebook and Twitter to keep people informed. The first changes are:
The next stages, later in February and early March, are:
Further works will be taking place over the year and we will provide updates on these at a later date.
If you have any queries regarding this work please do not hesitate in contacting Natural England on 01458 860120 or e-mail somersetavonandwiltshire@naturalengland.org.uk
