We welcomed Duncan as a new CROW today for our party of three - Kasher, Andrew and Duncan - to complete a number of small but important tasks in Walsden and Todmorden.
1 Cutting back on Tod 135 from the fishing lake off Ramsden Wood Road to the housing estate below. This popular but overgrown path was reported by a member of the public.
2 Inserting protectors over the barbed wire fencing adjacent to a stile, completed last week, on Todmorden 138 (part of the Todmorden Centenary Way) near to Cranberry Dam. Way-markers were also fixed to the stiles here. The team will be back to complete another stile in a couple of weeks time and then, hopefully, to install more boardwalks on the lower path nearer to the dam.
3 Step building (continued) in Scaitcliffe Wood on Todmorden 082. There is still a few weeks of work to be done here . . .
Today's work has been funded by Todmorden Town Council (tasks 1 and 3) and by Todmorden Wind Farm through CFFC (task 2). Many thanks for your continued support.
