I have been contacted today by the senior rights of way officer at county hall to confirm that works to the Black Path, connecting High Hesleden with Blackhall Colliery, will begin next week (see posts dated 6 November 2012 & 17 January 2013 for further details).
Advisory notices will be erected at either end of the path later this week to let walkers know that works are to commence on Tuesday 12 March and are expected to last for 3 to 4 days.
Whilst some disruption is likely contractors will endeavour to maintain access whenever possible.
