The latest kissing gate in the Parish Council’s programme to gradually replace stiles in the parish was recently installed near Weston Farm.
The Parish Council has subsequently received a number of messages of thanks including the following: “The new kissing gate is much appreciated by dog walkers and families as it stops dogs and children rushing out into the road and access into the field is so much easier. Everyone I have spoken to is very pleased with it. Please thank everyone involved for making it happen.”
It is hoped that a second stile, in the same vicinity, might be replaced next year if the landowner gives approval and if the funding can be found.
This new kissing gate means that 27 stiles have now been removed in recent years, being replaced with 20 kissing gates – creating many miles without stiles.
The Parish Council is grateful to Cllr Mocatta for the financial assistance for this latest improvement.
