Duncan and Kasher returned to Stile Lane (Tod 028) and Tod 029 (off Ashenhurst Road) to cut back the rampant vegetation and, on Stile Lane, to secure the fence at the top of the ginnel/snicket as it enters the field. The entrance to the field is through the gap stile at the side of the fence. We hope to work with the landowner to improve the access from the ginnel to the field whilst preventing the landowner's cattle from coming down from the field.
We also took the opportunity to look at some of the willows which we planted earlier in the year, many of which seem to have taken well. We also returned to the drainage issues in this area and will need to work with the Council to try to sort out some of these problems before the winter storms.
Many thanks to the person/people who have cut back some of the vegetation on Tod 029. Your work was really appreciated and made our job slightly easier.
Today's work has been funded by Todmorden Town Council. Many thanks for your continuing support.

We have tied the gate into position but will try
to replace it as a matter of urgency. |

| The path should be easier to walk now! |
