Mend the Gap
The Mend the Gap programme is enhancing the areas of the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs National Landscapes that have been negatively impacted by the electrification of the Great Western Railway around the Goring Gap.
Mend the Gap wants to make contact with landowners and communities in the programme area to develop enhancement projects. We are seeking to identify and support large landscape enhancement projects that will contribute towards meeting the programme’s overall vision of softening the scars left by the electrification of the Great Western mainline, by enhancing and enriching the outstanding landscape that links the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs for wildlife, residents and visitors.
To find out more about the area we are working in, our projects and our successes, please visit our website.
The Management Plan for the Chilterns National Landscape
The Management Plan sets out the policies and actions to be followed by all stakeholders to conserve and enhance this special place. The current Plan (“the Chilterns AONB Management Plan 2019-24”) has been extended to March 2025 and is currently under review.
