Thanks for ‘Green Way lifeline in lockdown’

The Civic Society banner ‘The Green Way a lifeline in lockdown’, located just north of North Town Moor, at the junction of Green Way East and Green Way West, will be taken down shortly. It is pictured below.

It has been there since the beginning of December 2020 when it was accompanied, until the New Year, by the Civic Society Christmas Tree, part of the St Luke’s Christmas Tree Trail (CTT).

The Green Way and indeed almost all the footpaths have been heavily used in the pandemic with consequent effects on the surface. Hopefully warmer weather will improve them.

The banner is being taken down because the lockdown due to the pandemic is easing and also because the poster that accompanied it, that gave details of a circular route designed for walkers not familiar with the Green Way paths, has become bedraggled.

We also feel that Mr Prior might like to have access to his field again.

The circular route (CTT Walk Final) is available in ‘Useful Links’ on the Society website.

We would like to thank Peter Prior of Summerleaze Gravel and Steve Gillions of East Berks Ramblers for their help with this project.

Details of the banner and walk have been passed on to the Royal Borough for inclusion in the Memory Box being compiled to record what residents will remember about the pandemic.

Maidenhead Civic Society very much hope that we will not need the banner again.
