The National Trust are asking residents about new plans to alter the footpath by Smallcombe Farm.

Earlier this year dozens of residents took part in a preliminary consultation into diverting the existing footpath. Given the overwhelmingly negative response, a new proposal has been drawn up by the applicant.

The Trust wants to gauge residents’ support for the new plans before deciding whether to support them and divert their popular skyline walk.

An exhibition is being held on Thurs 31 October in St Mary’s Church Hall from 2 to 8pm.

These proposals are at any early stage and any plan needs several stages of formal consultation and approval by the council Regulatory Committee before implementation.
