There are a total of 11 footbridges in Great Wood, seven of these have aluminium balustrade railings and four have timber ones. Friends’ volunteers are first smartening up the metal bridges using paint and painting equipment kindly given to us by Chorley Council. Preparing these bridges for recoating has been a task in itself. Special thanks for that go to our members Steve Hodgson, ably assisted by Sue Giles, who first cleaned all the bridges. Following that, teams of our volunteers have got on with the painting job – as pictured below.
