The recent poor weather has slowed the improvements to the muddy path between Combe Down and Claverton Down.
Unfortunately the contractors have now reached the end of their programmed period, and have had to start work in Tunley. With the job unfinished on Claverton Down, the contractors will return in March.
The muddy path between Combe Down and Claverton Down is set to be surfaced in November.
A stone path with be laid to 3m wide along the full length of the route. The work is expected to take four weeks.
“This is a great result,” said local Liberal Democrat councillor Nicholas Coombes, “we have been campaigning for improvements to this path for many years. I know that many local residents, students, walkers and cyclists will be very pleased with these works.”
