Recently we were contacted by a member of the public concerned about the condition of the footpaths along the B1281 between Hesleden and Castle Eden. It was reported that the paths were overgrown in parts, to the extent that some were virtually impossible to pass.
This is an ongoing problem which is referred to in other posts on this site so we reported this incident to the maintenance team who cut the grass back immediately.
The pathway however remains in a poor condition in many parts and we have asked that the pathways be edged or cut back to the original width to enable pedestrians to get through without having to walk onto the road.
The maintenance team has acknowledged the urgency of our request and has included the works to be carried out as soon as possible as part of the winter maintenance programme.
