FROME Town Council will be discussing footpaths across the town’s parks and green spaces on Wednesday 1st November, including the paths in Victoria Park.
The town council recently received a petition from 100 residents asking that the paths in Victoria Park be improved, a story revealed by Frome Times two weeks ago.
“Good quality paths are really important – and we’ve done a lot over the last five years to improve and repair lots of the paths that we look after,” said cllr Richard Ackroyd. “This has included supporting projects across the town, like Frome’s Missing Links.
“Pathworks tend to be expensive though, which means that we have to plan for improvements. In recent years we’ve laid new paths at the Mary Baily Playing Field and the Showfield, and we plan to invest in the paths in Victoria Park in the coming year.
“These paths are wearing in places and there are sections where the tree roots are impacting too. This will be part of the discussion at the Council Matters meeting and we welcome anyone to come along and join in the discussion.”
