Network Rail Community Scheme.. going forward

Community Scheme – what is it? Like Station Adoption, but outside the station lease Environments can be very different from stations Gardens, wildlife, wild flowers, clearing litter, murals, painting…… Governed by ‘community licence’ Licence held by station friends, residents, Council, Groundwork Trust, ‘In Bloom’ etc etc

Station Adoption or Community Scheme? Red is Station Lease, managed by the Train Operator, so Station Adoption Green is Network Rail directly-managed land, so Community Scheme
