On behalf of Jean Lamb, 23rd November 2024:

Walkway update
On 14th November the Modification Application for the old railway walkway was passed at the Highways Committee to be placed on the definitive map as a Walkway/Route. It’s taken two years to try and claim back what’s belonged to the community for over 100 years. Still an ongoing process due to land ownership on the walkway.

I would like to thank once again everyone who has taken time to fill evidence user forms and signed the petition, and friends who’ve been supportive and helped with the printing of all the paperwork required. Thank you to the Definitive Map Officers who have guided me through this lawful procedure from day one, in a most professional manner. Let’s hope our Councils help and back the wider community on the Walkway.
