New Surface for Popular Footpath

New Footpath From Heron Way to Kingfisher School Via Kingfisher Road

.

.

A few months ago myself and Cllr Pat Gulvin were meeting with residents in Ryde Close and we were discussing local issues that affected them and what could be improved.

One main concern kept being repeated, and that was the state of the footpath that runs from Heron Way down to Kingfisher Road through the Heron Banks.

This was officially a footpath but didn't have a decent surface, the surface was in fact chalk and mud which had been created by all the pedestrian traffic over the years.
This clearly was not acceptable as this path was used by many parents taking their young children to school (some with push chairs) from the Ryde Close area down to Kingfisher School.

After speaking with residents, the first thing we done was to contact the Highways Department within the council and try to get a resolution.

Due to the path already being designated an official footpath this made it easier to secure the necessary funding and the job started in July.
I'm sure this will be a welcome addition to the residents who take this route when the schools re-open in September.

Another job completed by your local Conservative Councillors, we listened to residents concerns and two months later the job has been completed!
