COMMA, the Community Aggregates Fund, aims to compensate communities affected by quarrying, by supporting

behalf of Defra, funded by the aggregates levy on quarries.

Over 200 applications were submitted this year detailing a huge range of community projects. The successful projects received
grants of between 3000 and 20,000 to deliver a wide range of community benefits. A full list of project awards is available on the
ACRE website.

As a result of this grant it has been possible for a new extension of the boardwalk to be constructed by volunteers
of the Wolvey Environment Group.

The extension runs from the original boardwalk to the cattle bridge and improves access to the Woodland Walk.

in increasing the benefit of this special place for the whole community
