MEET THE TEAM
We are a partnership of local railway enthusiasts and people keen to preserve Bradford on Avon's heritage. All of us are supporters and users of our railway station with a track record of community involvement.
This is an important heritage project for the town. With the enthusiasm of the community and the added expertise we've identified, we can succeed. Everyone involved will be proud in the knowledge that their enduring legacy to their community is a completed Brunel wayside station. What can you do? Do you want to be involved, to give practical help, a donation or be a vocal supporter? Send us an email: footbridgecanopy@gmail.com
