Children and visitors to Staffordshire Wildlife Trust will enjoy new improved ‘pond dipping’ facilities this summer, because Network Rail has stepped in to construct a new jetty and path at the Trust’s Wolseley Centre at Wolseley Bridge, near Stafford.

The bridge carrying the A38 trunk road over the railway at Lichfield is to be rebuilt as part of the Trent Valley Four Tracking Project (TV4), which is part of the upgrade of the West Coast Main Line in Staffordshire.
