Walwayne Court Primary School has opened its doors to a new pre-school forest group called Little Nutkins. It’s a new idea by the school, aimed at encouraging young children and their families to enjoy a number of fun forest activities in the grounds of Walwayne Court. Caz Knight ,one of the session leaders, said: “The activities will change each week and there’s also a free session where children and parents can explore the garden area, wonder around the secret orchard or enjoy the wildflowers. “The feedback from parents so far has been great, especially about how much they enjoyed the relaxed feel of the morning.”

AROUND 20 people helped to clear up the Broadmead estate in Trowbridge with a litter pick on Saturday. Organiser Tom Bazan said they had collected a considerable amount of litter from the Broadmead and Cockhill areas. He added: It was a productive one. People split up into small groups, some did around Broadmead Road itself, where others did the front of Walwayne Court, Broadmead Pond and down the brook behind the Tesco Express store. I tackled Cockhill and most of the litter I collected was hidden amongst the bushes. Amongst the litter I collected was a car mat, bits of plastic piping and even security tags from alcohol bottles.
