With funding from his Ward Councillor Initiative budget, David Martin has funded a new bench on the National Trust land in Bathwick.

Robert Holden, National Trust Head Ranger, said: “We are delighted with our new addition to Bathwick fields. This oak bench with its fantastic views over the World Heritage city will be much appreciated by the many visitors walking through the area”.

David has also recently supported another National Trust project to open up areas to create wildlife friendly glades in Bathwick woods and connect up with an old drove track which leads from North Road up to Bathampton Down.
