Network Rail fence
Due to the low height and poor upkeep of the Network Rail fence running along Orchard Walk, the area has become a magnet for casual littering and fly-tipping. This is a major factor in downgrading this key access route to services such as Churchill Medical Centre or shops such as Lidl. We are working with Network Rail to address this matter and will provide updates accordingly.

Update
Following discussions from this group and our local councillor, the fence has been replaced.
