Meanwhile…

A well used public footpath in Treuddyn has reopened following restoration works.

The footpath which runs from the A5104 to St Mary’s Church, in the conservation area of Treuddyn, was damaged during the bad weather in March 2013 after a large tree collapsed and its roots destroyed 10-15m of path.

Known locally as Church Walk, the popular route had been temporarily closed while works were carried out by a contractor on behalf of Flintshire County Council. Part of the works included an improved stile and dog latch and new fencing.

Local County Councillor Carolyn Thomas said:

“It’s great to see this pathway open again for footpath users to enjoy. Historically it’s a popular route and local people will be pleased that the repairs are finished and that it’s safe for walkers.”
