Mend the Gap

Mend the Gap

The Mend the Gap programme is enhancing the areas of the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs National Landscapes that have been negatively impacted by the electrification of the Great Western Railway around the Goring Gap.

 

Mend the Gap wants to make contact with landowners and communities in the programme area to develop enhancement projects. We are seeking to identify and support large landscape enhancement projects that will contribute towards meeting the programme’s overall vision of softening the scars left by the electrification of the Great Western mainline, by enhancing and enriching the outstanding landscape that links the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs for wildlife, residents and visitors.

To find out more about the area we are working in, our projects and our successes, please visit our website.
