VOLUNTEERS are needed to help identify potential improvements to Knutsford public footpaths.

Knutsford Town Council is appealing for residents to help survey the town's network of public rights of way.

Keen walkers will be asked to head down specific footpaths, take several photographs and complete a short condition survey.

This information will help establish the conditions, general cleanliness, and accessibility of the paths.

In turn, this will enable the town council to devise a plan for future improvements. in partnership with Cheshire East Council and landowners.

“Knutsford is fortunate to have several public rights of way across the town and out into the wider countryside providing attractive routes for exercise and active travel," said town clerk, Adam Keppel-Green.

"This survey will help record their current condition and help us identify any improvements needed to the network."

Anyone interested in participating in this initiative is invited to contact Jeanette Hine at jeanette.hine@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk or contact the council offices on 01565 653929.
