Corporate commitment
We've had some brilliant groups from Astra Zeneca, Royal London and Manchester Airport helping out in The Carrs in the last couple of weeks. With them, we've managed to get lots of riverbank maintenance completed, masses of Himalayan Balsam pulled up and some paths cleared of overgrown branches. We are very grateful for their efforts - they make a real difference.
The Friends
The Friends of the Carrs grew out of the direct action taken by a number of local residents in 2004/5 to...
... of The Carrs
The Carrs is parkland that follows the Bollin River for just under a mile from Wilmslow to Twinnies Bridge. It is Wilmslow's favourite walking ground, where, in the morning, there are as many dogs as people. Most of the town's children have run in the play ground on Chancel Lane and begged to be allowed to paddle in the river. After rare falls of snow, the Carrs' one grassy slope is ridden by sledgers and the parkland becomes a Bosch canvas of colour. In recent years, rumours of fish have surfaced and there have been sightings of anglers.
