Get Active Pathway opens in Horam

Nus Ghani joined residents to cut the ribbon

Residents were joined by Wealden MP Nus Ghani to celebrate the completion of Phase 1 of the project.

The 1km long exercise path spans the perimeter of the recreation ground, and can be used year round.

Nus Ghani has been supporting Horam Village Hall Trustees in raising the funds over recent years

Nus said: "I was delighted to attend the official opening of the Get Active Pathway and celebrate this new facility alongside Horam residents. Health, leisure and sport facilities play a key role in building resilience and wellbeing in our communities and this new, eco-friendly pathway will make the recreation grounds accessible to all users all year round, providing great opportunities to walkers, runners and mobility scooter users who struggle with the uneven and often muddy terrain of our countryside paths. This project is a fantastic result for Horam and I'm pleased to have supported its delivery."

Mike Woodhouse, Chair of Trustees said: "We're so pleased to see Phase 1 of the GAP project complete. This enables our many visitors to use the recreation ground all year round for the first time. We're very grateful for the funding from Veolia, Horam Parish Council and Biffa Awards to help us construct the pathway."
