Look out for this sign

A new type of right of way has sprung up in the parish - a Restricted Byway.

A restricted byway allows a right of way on foot, on horseback, or leading a horse, cycling and for any vehicles other than mechanically propelled vehicles unless for access.

Green Lane and Garners Lane are now both Restricted Byways. Please report any misuse to the footpaths warden or parish council member

Green Lane (Restricted Byway)

This path has now been extensively cleared to conform to its status as a restricted byway (See above).
While looking a little stark initially, the vegetation is beginning to recover and providing horse owners do not churn it up too much will soon 'green up' over the coming months.
Seating has been placed around the pond and this area has the potential as a pleasant stopping place. It is the intention of the paths group to monitor and return this area to the delightful country route it once was.
Fencing of the field at the lower (eastern) end of the path is now complete and signs for the pathway have been put in place.

Dell path steps

New steps and pathway have been constructed by the Cheshire County Council Rights of way department.

Path 1 - Belle Vue Lane to the rugby club

Cheshire County Council and the Public Rights of Way dept seem to have been active in liaising with the new owner of the house along here. Apparently there has been a long running dispute concerning the positioning of the fencing around the house long before the current owners moved in and the lane is now as it should be.

Access to the old railway

Residents will be excited to see a kissing gate and steps leading to the disused railway line just past the old railway bridge in Garners Lane. Currently OK for walking, it will be good to see this line made suitable as a cycleway into the heart of Chester. A fuller description of this route is being prepared.
