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.
