August Parish Council Update

1. A request for a quote for a footpath to be put in place on the boundary between the grassed area and the road in front of Dene Garth was obtained from NCC. Pedestrians at the moment have to walk on the grass or the very busy dangerous stretch of road.

Quote received was £27,000 which we could not fund.

The request has now been placed on our Local Transport Plan for 2022- 23 in the hope that NCC will fund.
