P3 Volunteer Working Party

2026 began by replacing some waymarks in and around Wix, followed by footpath clearance at Great Bromley.

 Another task, in conjunction with Essex Highways, was the King Charles III path and bridge works in Copperas Woods and Stour Woods,Wrabness. Have a look at the photo album in our Gallery. More KC3 jobs followed on Saturdays 7th and 14th March; and 23rd May. On 6th June extensive vegetation was cleared from Mistley FP13; see Gallery photos.

Saturday 3rd October saw the team begin to clear extensive upgrowth from another part of the KC3 footpath at Kirby le Soken, planning to return and complete the job on the 17th.

Please contact Michael Talbot to book your place for one of the future 2026 tasks. Bring along suitable tools, working gloves and footwear, and a drink/snack.

PPA Public Rights of Way

We have PPA 'Parish Focus’ days where some of us get together in order to walk the footpaths in one of Tendring's unadopted parishes.

During 2024 and 2025, we surveyed a number of Parish footpaths.

On 9th May 2026 a group of us walked a series of paths in Wix Parish. This effort resulted in us identifying a large number of reported issues which had been resolved, enabling Essex Highways to be updated and to close a number of calls.

The most recent event was on Saturday 22nd August and across Beaumont, Tendring, Thorpe and Weeley Parishes where various defects were checked and validated.

If you'd like to find out more and/or participate in 2026, please contact John Barton.
