Footpath on Hillside
EDDC have finally replaced the handrail at the bottom of the footpath down from Hillside, after more than a year of asking. I have now established which EDDC team are responsible for this footpath, so I can let them know if there are any more issues for them to look at.

However, they have come back saying, in principle, planning permission could be granted.
Now that the Parish …

The proposed 6-wk road closure in Colestocks to enable Western Power to connect a property has obviously been delayed by the current pandemic. In mid-June I spoke to Western Power who confirmed that they are still investigating alternative ways to avoid closing the road for such a long time. A solution had not been agreed at that time and the 6-wk road closure has not been ruled out, although it is a last resort. Hopefully a better solution will be agreed soon. Once a decision has been …

23 January 2020 By

A number of options are being revisited to see if they can be made to work and the time it is taking to find the best viable option is an indication of how complicated this issue …
