Liberal Democrat Councillor Sue McGuire, the North Meols Civic Society and local school children.
Complaints have been made about the state of the footpath seven running from Fleetwood Road to the sea bank on Fleetwood Hesketh Golf Clubs. Last Sunday woodchippings were laid to improve the surface of the path which has been slippy and muddy.
This was the second stage in the operation to improve the pathway. Last November students from Stanley High School joined with the Civic Society and Councillor McGuire to litter pick and widen the road, and earlier this month Councillor McGuire managed to secure woodchippings from the Council.
"The path was in a shocking state," said Cllr McGuire. "But now its wider and the woodchipping means that its much better and safer to walk on. This is a great example of partnership working between the Council and a local voluntary group.
"The Council has responsibility for maintaining public footpaths, but because of lack of funds working in partnership with voluntary organisations is becoming essential, and is a great way to work round
financial shortfalls. The Council has provided the woodchipping and support to lay it out has come from the North Meols Civic Society and other volunteers. However, there is still more work to do and volunteers are
always needed. If anybody can help please get in touch with Ken Bridge from the North Meola Civic Society."
