Well done, North Lincolnshire Council, for repair work to the public footpath linking Yarborough Road and Churchill Avenue.
Hard to see from the photos but they've put down some hardcore and added a light covering on top, so it's not a hard surface. No criticism intended - it's a welcome improvement.
If the council didn't have an official launch - with interested ramblers invited - they really should have done.
My own observations suggest more people are using this public right of way now there's no longer mud underfoot.
Why, after all these years, it was decided to take action over the state of the walkway I've no idea. But that really doesn't matter.

Next time we bump into our voluntary footpath warden, Tony Parker, On Brigg Streets we will invite his observations. If our paths don't cross (pardon the pun!), I'm sure Tony will make reference to the work in his report delivered to Brigg's annual town meeting.
Walking types have campaigned hard over the years to keep this right of way open to the public, and I seem to recall a public inquiry being held over its future not that long ago.
