Snowdrop Valley Park and Ride Scheme would not happen without the assistance of several organisations. Badgworthy Land Company own the land known as Snowdrop Valley and without their permission the scheme would not be able to function. Badgworthy Land Company do not profit from the scheme - Cutcombe Parish Council make a small donation each year which does not reflect in any way the importance of their cooperation. A donation is also made to Exmoor Farmers Livestock Auctions who allow us to use their land for car and coach parking except on market days. If you have visited Wheddon Cross you will know that parking is a major issue and without EFLA's help there would be very limited options. We also give a donation towards the village website - without Cynthia we would not be able to update the site with daily weather details in a 'breaking news' fashion. Donations from the Parish Council are less than £600 so are not big earners for those who help us - good old community spirit is the key. We are also very grateful to Exmoor National Park Authority who provide practical advice and assistance from loaning the information trailer, organising volunteers to set up the rope barrier and clear the paths in the valley, to paying for the road closure order and clearing fallen trees on the public rights of way leading to the valley in the blink of an eye! If all of the above organisations decided to bill the scheme at 'real prices', Snowdrop Valley Park and Ride would never happen again.......
