Tattenhall is (Almost) Stile Free

WooHoo – Tattenhall is (almost) Stile Free!

In 2021, newly recruited Parish Councillor Kerr proposed a plan to survey the number of stiles on footpaths within the parish, and to over time replace these with Kissing Gates using expiring money from previous housing developments.

It turned out that there were more than 70 stiles, but in just 5 years, with help from the Ice Cream Farm and funding from Ward Councillor Mike Jones and a grant from the Kings Coronation Fund these have all been replaced with kissing gates to enable the less agile to enjoy the network of public footpaths.

Actually, there is just one stile remaining which we’ve been unable to replace but hope to be able to do this.

A final request is that if you’re out enjoying the public footpaths, you keep any dogs under control, still pick up after them even though it’s a field and if you have some secateurs, try and keep the gates free from brambles and nettles. Anything that needs larger tools should be reported, preferably with the OS Grid Reference or W3W location to: paul.kerr@tattenhallpc.co.uk
