Thank you

Thanks also to Super Signs who printed the information boards and installed four of them.
The project was also supported by Donnington Parish Council, Hunston Parish Council, Sidlesham Parish Council and Selsey Town Council.
But my biggest thank you goes to my Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group colleagues, David Pearce and Simon Scotland.
Finally the project benefitted from financial support from Ferry Farm Community Solar project, Lady Neville Foundation (Skinners Trust), the Colonel Stephens Society and Sidlesham Parish Council.
Future Dates

Leaflet available
A leaflet giving directions for ‘Walk The Selsey Tram Way’ has been printed. Copies are now available at RSPB Visitors Centre Pagham Harbour, Selsey Town Hall, The Novium and the café at Chichester Canal Basin. It can also be downloaded from the Walks and Trails page.
Interactive Map
The interactive map can be downloaded from the above tramway page link or https://bit.ly/SelseyTramway .
The interactive map enables people to walk the route in both directions, whereas the walking guide only has directions from Chichester to Selsey. The interactive map has additional information about places of interest along the route, including the 11 stations.
Feedback received from people trialling the walking directions was great – it would be good to hear some feedback on the interactive route via our contact form.
Thanks for your continued interest and support.
