The Friends of Manning's Pit
April 2022 -This
page is being updated, a new page will be online
shortly.
Our Policies
Our aim when we were set
up in 2015 was to save and protect Manning's Pit. By
Manning's Pit, we meant the area of land that was
described as Lot 2 (Land
at Windsor Road) and was purchased by a
London-based firm at the auction on 27th
October 2015.
In the 2015 map below, the
land for sale was outlined in red. While we were
successful in purchasing the land on the side of the
river closest to the town, we were not able to
purchase the field known as the Rope Swing field on
the other side of the river. We were however able to
negotiate permission for people to walk along the
river bank in this field.
The Friends of
Manning's Pit group have a single focus and do not
oppose building applications anywhere else.
Supporters can of course
oppose any other application as a personal matter, but
they must not do this using the name of our group –
unless the group's policy on this matter changes.
We are non-political.
We welcome people from all political parties and will
work with all politicians who support us.
No personal, inflammatory or defamatory attacks on any
person or any organisation are to be made in the name
of the group.
All the Manning's Pit
fields must be treated with respect due to the land,
the wildlife or any farm animals within the
fields. A list of rules is on our info page, and on the signs
at each entrance to the area.
The land that adjoins the Manning's Pit fields must
also be treated with respect by all our supporters.
This adjacent land (which includes footpaths to
Tutshill Woods and Anchor Mill) is privately owned.
We reserve the right to add to or amend these policies
if necessary.
