RESIDENTS of Kinnersley and District Group Parish have recently received complementary copies of a booklet of walks around their parish.

The booklet, entitled Twelve Circular Walks in Kinnersley, Letton, Norton Canon and Sarnesfield, was designed and edited by Andy Johnson of Logaston Press for the Group Parish Council which has delivered a copy to each household in the four parishes. The booklet was commissioned as one of a number of initiatives intended to address calls for improvements to the footpaths network in the four parishes identified in the Parish Plan adopted by the council in 2014.

Each of the four parishes now has a parish footpaths officer and they researched the walks for the booklet. This in turn has already led to improvements being made to stiles and stream crossings and the appointment of a footpaths contractor who can help landowners keep the paths in good order for parishioners.
