Report from Footpath Secretaries
We continued our contact with Parish Footpath Warders, other Footpath Officers and Local Authority Field Officers. During the year efforts were concentrated on Tytherington where footpaths at one end of the parish had been badly neglected. New footpath signs were subsequently erected, kissing gates installed to replace unsafe stiles, and a small group carried out footpath clearance. An incident later occurred at one of the stiles that had been reported. Having reported the stile again it was replaced by a more easily accessible stile. Following liaison with the Walking for Health team, Tytherington was included in their programme of walks and this in turn meant some other stiles / gates were replaced promptly.
Direct online reporting to the Local Authority to a certain extent has taken us ‘out of the loop’, but we are still involved if problems are not resolved speedily.
