The raised footpath between Hesleden and Castle Eden has now been strimmed and made tidy after undergrowth had encroached onto the path preventing safe access for pedestrians,
The grass verges on the same stretch of road are maintained by a sub-contractor on behalf of the county council and I have asked that these be cut back too to allow for pedestrians to pass safely. The county council has contacted the contractor today and they have confirmed that this work will be completed by early next month in line with the contractors established cutting schedule.
Please let me know if you are aware of similar problems elsewhere in our area and I will make the necessary arrangements to make safe and tidy.
