WALK THIS WAY: A report has been published on footpaths in the upper dale
HEALTH and safety concerns have been raised about the state of stiles on popular public footpaths in the upper dale.
Middleton-in-Teesdale Walkers are Welcome group’s annual review on the condition of the footpaths in and around the village was discussed at the parish council’s last meeting.
The group reported the overall condition of footpaths in the parish remain in a “very good state” thanks to the work of landowners and tenants.
They paid tribute to the efforts of another volunteer group that has raised money and maintained major sections of the King’s Walk, which has been widely used during the pandemic.

FLOOD FEARS: Questions have been asked how residents can get hold of community flood protection sacks bought for Middleton-in-Teesdale and Eggleston
STEPS are being taken to avoid further confusion in the way flood protection sacks are distributed in a dale village.
FloodSax – a type of sandless sandbag – were bought by Middleton-in-Teesdale and Newbiggin Parish Council last year to stop households flooding after previous incidents. Contributions were also made by Eggleston Parish Council.They have been stored at Middleton’s fire station and are deployed by fire and rescue staff as they see fit.
But in January, a California Row resident removed all the FloodSax following a severe weather alert. Fire station staff had been under the assumption the resident was a member of the parish council.
