OLD TOWN

Village Footpaths: clearing the overgrowth!

Frank H, Ray, Nick, Paul and Stella beavered away at cutting back some of the overgrown footpaths in the village. This included paths down to Foot Kiln and along part of the maze of paths to Westfields and up to the Community Centre, and cutting back nettles on the path from Old Laithe. It was hot and sweaty work in the sunshine and apart from some flat batteries and a predatory one-eyed white cat it was a productive day!

Typical state of paths - it's a jungle!
