After years of residents forging their own path from Balmerino in Monkston over to Middleton and Broughton, a proper footpath will finally be created.

Cllr Jenni Ferrans says “The Focus team have been campaigning for this path for years, but we got nowhere with the developers.  Now at last the land is in the hands of the Parish Council and they have agreed.”

Kents Hill and Monkston Parish Council has decided to surface the footpath down the side of the allotments. And they’ve finally got permission from the Parks Trust to extend the extra few metres over Parks Trust land to meet up with the redway going to Middleton and Broughton.
