Volunteers Help Improve Local Footpath During Successful Clearing Day

Sparrow Lane had a makeover with the help of volunteers on Thursday 11th June.

Residents and volunteers from Bruntwood worked to help improve access along the well-used footpath.

As part of its strategy to support active travel and accessibility for the community, Knutsford Town Council arranged a volunteering session to help clear the build-up of detritus and overgrowth which has been narrowing the path from Delmar Road to Higher Downs.

Despite some rainy weather, 24 volunteers gave their time and energy to support the practical improvement day that will benefit residents.  By widening the footpath, the team helped create a more open and usable route, improving accessibility and helping to ensure the path can be enjoyed by more people through the year. 

Spirits were high with the sense of achievement for a few hours work, and the day highlighted the value of working together as a community and it is hoped that the event will inspire further community involvement in future improvement days.

Jeanette Hine, Corporate Support Manager said:

“We would like to thank everyone who took part in in the day and contributed to its success.  The strong turn out reflects the continuing commitment of local people caring for the town’s green spaces and public footpaths and we are very grateful for their support”

The town council will be holding further improvement days throughout the year.
