  • Hi

    I was advised to highlight these public rights of way by the Ecclesiastical. I would recommend that all pathways are checked but in order. 1. North path leading to Old Town. 2. Flag stones leading from Church Road up to the front and to the right of the church. 3. pathway to the right Water Lane. Very minor damage here but worth checking whilst there.

    All pathways are frequently used not only by the congregation but lots by dog walkers and visitors.

    I've tried to add photos numerous times but couldn't. Sorry.

    Many thanks

  • These images are of the North path. Difficult to show every hole as they would not show up in the sun
