Update 15. April 2008 :
We've also put up a page listing grid references for these footpaths and bridleways, for the benefit of GPS users, and we hope to publish some itineraries shortly.
There will be a Blossom Walk through the village on the weekend of 26-27. April, visiting several of the historic orchards where hazel pears and other fruit are still grown. Please see the parish notice board for details.
An Automatic Weather Station has been set up in the village - you can access weather reports and links to other weather sites
here.

Acton Bridge village has adopted a corner of the road by the Station to build a flower bed. Click here to see some pictures of this new feature being built. Volunteers have carried out more work on the Station platform flower beds and the car park. If you would be willing to help, please come along on the first Saturday morning of each month - see the linked page for details. Campaigns and planning It now looks as though the threatened NPL Pipeline will not be passing through Acton Bridge. The Parish Council has received a letter from the developer, NPL Estates, confirming that their proposed northerly route through the village has been abandoned. The proposal to build a wind 'farm' at Aston, on the opposite bank of the river Weaver, has gone to Appeal by Planning Inquiry, despite being overwhelmingly refused by Vale Royal's full Borough Council on 30. November 2006. The huge generators (over 400 feet tall - comparable to Blackpool Tower) would be visible and audible from several parts of Acton Bridge, and all the neighbouring villages.
