The footpath between Cress Green and Millend has had a serious upgrade – well, at least half of it has!
A new path will be a great benefit to anyone trying to walk along there with prams, pushchairs etc – particularly during coming and going to the school every day.
But the disappointment comes just over half way to Millend as the new path stops and the old path, such as it is, remains; mud, cracks, pot-holes and all. This will negate most of the benefit as far as anyone not well-shod is concerned.
Our County Councillor, Nicholas Housden, has posted on ‘Eastington Community’ to say that it was he who had raised the job with Highways and was pleased to see it ‘completed’. I have written to ask why the new surface stops so unexpectedly and when/if the remainder will be improved.
Note that the Highways department of Gloucester County Council is responsible for all our road and traffic issues as well as footpaths. Our County Councillor is a good point of contact for any such issues you might want to raise.
