Elder Road Path Improvements

With Winter rapidly approaching, the
decision has been taken to upgrade the
Elder Road path, running alongside the
stream. This path was originally installed in
2012 and, due to natural wear and tear,
now has many areas where water
gathers, and it gets very muddy. The path
work will be undertaken during
September and will include an element
of drainage and adjusting the camber of
the path in order to prevent water lying.
Please be patient whilst this work is being carried out.

Wilding Village Verges
The verges have been reviewed and a survey undertaken to record what flora is
already growing at each site. The next stage will be to consider cutting regimes.
Not all the verges around the village will be appropriate for re-wilding and
discussions will be held with residents to decide which verges could be used and
which should not.
