There is going to be a new leaflet launched in Birmingham and Sandwell, which aims to get people up and walking in the scenic Sandwell Park. This is the first ever full leaflet, that will show you about the different thigns that Sandwell Park has to offer and of course all being free of charge. I think it is great what the Sandwell Valley Trails Group are doing, they have managed to get funding to put together this leaflet, to encourage people to get out and explore the park.
After speaking to John Blyth, one of the organisers, it was clear that a lot of time and effort went into producing the leaflet, which was partly funded by the Primary Care Trust. John told me that the leaflet was originally going to be priced around £4-5, however they decided not to do this and is available completely free of charge. It’s great because the leaflet is meant for a wide variety of people, whe cyclists, walkers and horse riders.
The leaflet is not currently available online, which is a shame because it sounds so interesting, especially about hearing about all the work that has gone into it! However John did say that they are working on putting together a PDF version of the leaflet, which will be put on the internet.
The leaflets are currently available from the Forge Mill Farm, Park Farm and The Public in West Bromwich.
