Liz Hill
Colwall Village Society
Our structure is that of a non-formal small steering group to which members come and go according to their interests, bringing with them experience and new project ideas.
Links with county, town and parish councils plus local businesses are important and are in the early stages of development.
Beyond the Hills CSP (RBfH) is a Non-Profit Organisation.
We are project motivated, providing a range of subjects that tie into the overriding principle of strengthening links between the stations and their communities, improving station environments and raising the profile of trains as a modern and sustainable form of travel.
