- Footpath Cherry Tree Avenue to Crich Lane
From Cherry Tree Avenue to the Spinney there are two stretches of the footpath that have neither a tarmac nor chipping surface. These total 110m in length. Local residents have been pressing for the whole length to have a tarmac surface but as the County Council has only put the chippings down this year, along the worst parts of the path, it is suggested that if any action is taken then the 110m is surfaced with chippings. A quote has been received of £675: if tarmac was used the cost would be £4,922
