Footpath HILP20 (the footpath which leads off Whaddon Lane in the vicinity of New Barn Farm) is in need of three or four new kissing gates. Back in 2010 a number of stiles in the village were replaced by kissing gates and many of these were sponsored by residents in the village.

We are again calling on individuals or groups of people to sponsor the gates, so if anyone is interested please contact the Parish Clerk, Marylyn Timms, on 01225 852518. The cost of each gate will be £100, or £120 if the Wiltshire Council footpath warden provides a plaque with the sponsor’s inscription.
