B&NES have notified us that the improvement works to the above public footpath are due to start late August/September this year.

The works are to restore the existing surface of the footpath at this stage and will include:
As this footpath is prone to flooding a survey will be carried out later in the year to establish what could be done to improve the surface and the likely cost of this work. The notice of closure on the footpath lasts for six months from 1st August 2015, but it is anticipated that the footpath will only actually be closed for 2 weeks during this period to carry out the works. |
