The WSRA Trustees agreed to a grant funding request from Crowcombe Heathfield Station staff to help with costs for repair and replacement of the station boundary fence.

The picket fence provides a safety barrier between the Bakers Orchard service road and the railway and has now been repaired in heritage style by local contractors G A Sully & Sons.

The WSRA has paid for the repairs, with a contribution from station funds of just under 30%, so it is very much a joint effort.

Station staff and local residents are pleased that the fence is now repaired and the safety barrier restored.

The WSRA is always pleased to receive grant funding requests from groups on the West Somerset Railway for projects that fit within the WSRA’s charitable objects and provide a benefit to the general public.  Find out more about applying for a small group grant HERE
