A new footbridge has been installed by LCC Public Rights of Way over the stream known as the Rib, linking FP0808007 and FP0803002 in Haskayne. This replaces what was previously little more than a rotting plank! We hope this will help to restore access to the Cheshire Lines path from the village.
Tree issue, Carr Lane
Access restored
Gwen reported a tree problem in this path via the Love Clean Streets app. A reply was received saying the job had been completed but it was still very obstructed. Reference numbers quoted 5473415 and 5473433. On further inspection, the path had been cleared in time for Joan and Audrey's Burscough walk
There have been a few instances recently of footpaths not being reinstated within 14 day after crops are planted or fields are ploughed, as in the photo above. By the time Lancashire Public Rights of Way are able to visit landowners to discuss the matter, the crops have been harvested and there is no longer an issue. PROW advise that in such cases, you can walk the path but you must ensure you stick to the definitive line by using an app or online tracker.
