Malton & Norton Area Partnership

Responsibility for Lady Spring Wood has been transferred to Malton Town Council, by mutual agreement. Information here is retained as background.

The Lady Spring Wood project started in 2016, when it became apparent that the old boardwalk had reached the end of its life. The bridge over the Cut, leading to the Gannock, had also been removed because of its condition. Local people, led originally by Fiona Croft, embarked on a project to create a new boardwalk and bridge. The project has been carried through by MNAP with support from many volunteers. When Fiona Croft left the area, Sarah Oswald picked up the responsibility for keeping the project on track. Valuable technical help has been provided by Alan Mitchell, consulting engineer, of Maltech. Much of the work has been carried out by volunteers, and local people have contributed towards the cost.
