Dodd Naze and Old Town Village
Ian S and Paul were out today undertaking two jobs in separate locations. The first task was to finish a flight of steps above the Dodd Naze Estate and the second task was to repair a finger-post in Old Town Village.

The Dodd Naze work was funded by
"Picture This" while the Old Town finger-post repair was funded by
Wadsworth Parish Council. Thank you to both.
Dodd Naze Steps: This job was a continuation and completion of the work that was started two weeks ago. Additional steps were fitted at the bottom end of this wide curving flight that leads up to Rowlands Lane from the top of the estate.

| Where we finished 2 weeks ago |
Where our last session finished there was quite a steep section so we installed two new shorter length steps to create an easier passage for walkers.
 |
| Two new steps installed. |
The infill was sourced from further up the path but once this has bedded-in we will return to see if a top up is needed.
Old Town finger-post repair:
 |
| A fingerless post! |
This is on the path that links Billy Lane with Old Mill Ridge in the village centre. The old 'flag' had long since disappeared but a resourceful Todmorden colleague had provided us with a replacement.
 |
A rotted interior!
|
Unfortunately the interior rebated slot had rotted which meant it was impossible to slide the replacement flag into the original housing.
 |
| Ian doing some fixing! |
The solution was to screw two additional pieces of wood onto the top sides of the post so the new flag could be slotted in and secured.
 |
| Completed! |
We may need to return to paint it all one colour . . . !
