That's good to know Tony. I am going down there today anyway to do a quick botanical survey and also check the surface. Might just have my bins with me Just In Case :)
Hi Mike I'm glad something's being done to improve the Transpennine Trail in that area, it is very overgrown in places. As for the fenced section at the old sewage works, I'd cut it back to the fence as there is plenty of screening vegetation on the inside of the fences either side of the path.
In my day-job with Red Rose Forest I am working with Trafford Council to improve the condition of the Transpennine Trail. The section running between the fences at Alty Sewage Works has been identified as being in need of scraping back and having vegetation controlled. We are liaising with UU as landowner but would be interested to know how forum members would view this - should we take it right back to the fence or leave some screening vegetation?
