The condition of this footpath has deteriorated since it was originally surfaced with gravel. The Parish Council would like to have it reinstated with a proper, durable surface.
6. Footpath # 10 (Church Lane to A17), to discuss re-route: Councillor Mike Brookes
Due to landowner objections on having bridleways the Parish Council believe a public right of
way might be a more suitable alternative

Councillor Hilton will be asked to speak to the landowner
