Notification has been received confirming that the closure order for Footpath 24 (Gray Avenue, Front Street, Haswell to Hart Walkway) has been extended until no later than February next year to allow for completion of works on site (please see post dated Thursday 21 February 2019 for background details).
The notification is reproduced below in full:
Footpath
No 24 Monk Hesleden Parish, Hesleden
Temporary
Public Footpath Closure
I refer to my previous correspondence relating to the
temporary closure to pedestrian traffic of the 496 metre length of Footpath No 24 that extends
southwards (crossing the Haswell-Hart Countryside Walkway) from its junction
with Gray Avenue/Front Street, Hesleden.
As the works have not yet been completed it will be
necessary to continue the closure in force by means of an extension of the
Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The extended closure will be effective from 1
April 2019 up to the end of February 2020 or until the path
is safe to re-open whichever is the sooner. This continuation has been approved
by the Secretary of State for the Transport.
The
alternative route for pedestrian traffic is from the northern side of
the closure from Gray Avenue, easterly along Front Street, southerly on Station
Road to the short section of Footpath No. 10 Monk Hesleden Parish leading to
the Haswell-Hart Countryside Walkway mid-point southern side of the closure, and vice versa
