A new path, at last
For at least forty years that I know of, there has been a gap in the hedge separating the main Congleton Road (formerly the A534) and the service road bearing the same name (foreground). A desire line was established long ago by pedestrians (including children heading for the primary school on Offley Road) between the end of the "black path" Image and the gap in the hedge.
At some time (1980s?) this unofficial shortcut was recognised by the authorities by placing a safety barrier in front of it on the main road side. But it was only in May 2017 that the muddy desire line was properly paved. Not by the highway authority but by contractors working for British Gas as a community benefit project after completing mainlaying in the verge. They could have made it even better by providing a drop kerb, but one must not look a gift horse in the mouth.
