Pathway re-opens in Pool

A public walkway linking two of the main roads in Pool has been re-opened by Heartlands.

Access through the Heartlands site between Dudnance Lane and Station road was temporarily closed while site preparation work took place near the sites parameters. Sections of the former path have been replaced by Midas Construction, and a new gravelled walkway now runs parallel to the site, linking up the existing pathways and providing an access route for the public.

Steve Luck, Operations Manager, Midas Construction, said: “In order to ensure the health and safety of the public we temporarily closed off access through the site whilst essential site preparation work took place. We have now reopened the pathway, and levelled the path with gravel to provide easy access to the public.”

Kirsty Davies, Heartlands Community Project Manager, said: “It’s great the pathway is now open again for full public use. The walkway is already attracting dog walkers and cyclists out and about in Pool and we wanted to let everyone else know that path access between two of Pool’s main routes is open again. The new section of the pathway runs directly alongside the Heartlands site and provides the perfect view of the site for the public to watch the area develop.”
