- Cattawade Picnic Site
The River Stour Trust Council agreed at its January 2012 meeting to enter into negotiation with Suffolk County Council with a view to taking on the freehold of the Cattawade picnic site and to take over responsibility for its upkeep. It is anticipated that the site will be transferred to the River Stour Trust in late March 2012.
In agreeing to take this project on the RST is helping to ensure that this vital access point to the river is preserved for future generations. We will be relying heavily on volunteer ‘wardens’ and helpers to manage this site and any offer of support is very much appreciated. We would also welcome suggestions for improvement to the site.
