The pathway has been narrowed gradually over a number of years, caused largely by verges growing into the path and localised flooding which had eroded the surface at one location.
When we approached the parish clerk with a request for the pathway to be considered for resurfacing she assured us that it would be included in the Spring work programme. It was great to see earlier this week that work has begun on site to fully widen and reinstate the entire pathway from the top of Dene Road across to Corry Close.
Our thanks go to the clerk and the members of Monk Hesleden Parish Council for their quick response to this request.
