email from Gullane-Drem campaign... Hi everyone, The landowner - D C Watson & Sons (Fenton Barns) Ltd - which owns Fenton Barns, a family-run farm with a commercial, leisure and retail village — has publicly announced its support for the Drem–Gullane path. This backing is especially significant: Fenton Barns controls a key stretch of the proposed route between the two villages. Momentum is building. The community is united behind a safe, climate-friendly path to keep children, families, commuters and visitors off the dangerous B1345.🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️💚 News release: https://dgcorepath.wixsite.com/website/post/major-landowner-backs-path 📸 Keith Chalmers-Watson & Nicola Simpson of Fenton Barns flanked by path campaign supporters Robin Haynes & Chris Holme. Best wishes, Iain, Clare, Gail, Rosalind, Jonathan & Barry Drem-Gullane Path Campaign landowner statement... Nicola Simpson, managing director at Fenton Barns, said: "We at Fenton Barns strongly support the creation of a safe cycling and walking route between Drem railway station and Gullane, some of which would be over our land. We believe that responsible, managed access to parts of Fenton Barns will take cyclists off the dangerous B1345 and will encourage safer travel to our businesses. We stand ready to work with campaigners, neighbouring landowners, and East Lothian Council to agree on the most suitable route for this important and common-sense proposal." Picture of campaigners
