The Ramblers Association’s primary aim is to protect the right to walk and the freedom to roam, whilst also ensuring that our footpaths are open, accessible and well-maintained.
This year has been a very busy one for the footpath team, which has consisted of myself and John Smith.
We have had a number of issues to deal with:
We have been investigating the possibility of adding a new path to the network. It would run from the village to the old railway line. We have had an initial meeting with the landowner and they are open to the idea. This is a long process and we will keep you updated.
We held two work parties this year.
Thank you to everyone who has helped with these tasks.
I attended a training day run by the Ramblers Association on footpath maintenance. This was very useful and I learned a lot about the legal aspects of footpath protection and practical ways to deal with issues.
It has been a challenging year, but we have made good progress in protecting and improving our local footpath network. We will continue to work hard to ensure that our paths are kept open and accessible for everyone to enjoy.
If you find any issues on footpaths, please report them to me by email at [email protected] or by phone on 01234 567890.
Thank you for your continued support.
