New Footway from Meadgate to Hook

The Parish Councils of Camerton and Timsbury gathered to mark the completion of a footpath from Meagate to Hook that was recently installed by the Design
Group on behalf of the Traffic & Road
Safety Team.

Representatives from both villages met halfway and then walked back to Camerton Hall for a formal reception where they were welcomed by the chairmen of Camerton Parish Council and Timbsbury Parish Councils.

They thanked the district councillors from both parishes and officers for their efforts, but noted that if it had not been for the co-operation of the landowners, Mr and Mrs Bateman, the scheme could not have been completed as they gave the land freely when they knew it was a community scheme.

The scheme comprised of the removal and replacement of over 150m of hedgerow to install a footpath that now runs from the edge of the village and connects with the Community Hall. As part of the works the highway was also resurfaced and street lighting installed.
