Chapel steps, Walsden, Portsmouth and Calderdale Way

Gerald, Rich and Alistair worked on clearing the steps for Todmorden Town Council.

The steps have been closed for many years and were now covered in brash and brambles.


 The scene we were greeted with when we arrived

 Work in progress

Bottom section cleared, the rest will be have been completed (photographer sloped off early)

Lots of appreciative comments from local residents who were still aggrieved that they were closed..
The builders are going to secure the boundary wall but we will need to come back and sort a couple of the steps that have moved. We will also consider putting up a sign at the top warning people that they may be slippy when wet (the reason why the council closed them all those years ago).

Once it is all sorted, we will remove the barriers.

Frank and Mick were back up at Portsmouth - report to follow

Eleanor Lynda and Trish were surveying and waymarking a section of of the Calderdale Way above Todmorden
