Action for the River Kennet (ARK) and Marlborough Town Council will welcome Claire Perry MP to Stonebridge Meadow in Marlborough on Friday, May 6.
Claire Perry will be officially opening the new wetland area, which was created one year ago to filter run-off pollution from the main road that was going directly into the River Kennet.
The wetland is now a fine amenity that is rich in wildlife, with a boardwalk and pond dipping platform providing access for all. ARK’s Project Officer, Anna Forbes says: “It has now become a fantastic community resource. “
The opening ceremony will run from 2pm until 3pm – and everyone is welcome. TH White Country Store can offer some car parking for those coming from further afield.
