The meeting was coordinated to push forward the Windrush Catchment Partnership’s engagement with the local community, noting that through collaborating we are greater than the sum of our parts.

The impressive turn out highlights the drive and desire, within the community, for direct action.

If you are a Cotswolds-based community group or an individual wanting to take action then please do get in touch with the Cotswolds Rivers Trust contact@cotswoldsriverstrust.org.
