New footpath ready

At the beginning of August we reported that the stretch of new footpath on Tattenhall Road from the outskirts of the village to the junction with Newton Lane was substantially complete -- some parts still needed the final topcoat and a small stretch needed a bit more work.

Good news – the footpath is now complete, not only as far as Newton Lane but onwards to just before the new housing development. The subsequent 100 yards or so to gain access to the canal towpath are still a bit of a mess because of construction traffic There can be no footpath for the foreseeable future. Negotiate with care or take an alternative route via Newton Lane, then go down the Tattenhall Marina road opposite the Ice Cream Farm.

We also note that the road surface itself has also been repaired to a good standard.

The contractors appear to have done a good job with a good kerb on the road side and a level walkway just under 2 metres wide. Pedestrian safety is vastly improved.

Villagers therefore can look forward to a safer walk to the Ice Cream Farm and Tattenhall Marina and in due course a straight walk on the footpath close to the Shropshire Union Canal.

One caveat -- just outside the village where the old footpath joins the new, it is interrupted by a telegraph pole which necessitates stepping on to the road for a few metres.
