The Radley Lakes Trust will oversee projects to improve pedestrian access to the Lakes, to manage important wildlife habitats, and to provide signage and information for people who visit the area.

Lynda Crowley, Chair of Radley Parish Council and a trustee, said,‘I am delighted that Radley Parish Council will be supporting the work of the Radley Lakes Trust. When we did our Radley Neighbourhood Plan a few years back, taking proper care of the Lakes emerged as a major concern of local residents. Now, we have a locally based Trust which can fulfil those aspirations, I am very excited about the future.’
David Guyoncourt, Conservation Officer for Abingdon Naturalists Society, is also a Trustee. He could not make the launch meeting. David manages Barton Fields Nature Reserve, which is now part of the Trust area, so he will be a very useful member of the Board.
