Summary

At a recent safety walk with residents there were questions about the status of a well-used pedestrian path that runs along the eastern ends of four dead end streets Wroxeter, Frizzell, Dingwall, and Bain. Establishing the ownership of this path will allow for improvements to be considered.

 

This pathway was once part of a now closed portion of Kiswick Avenue, but there are other sections where ownership is less clear.
