The society assist the local authorities with clearing and maintaining paths across the Wirral.
We will be putting together a calendar for a schedule of clearances which you are welcome to join.
We also have a series of images and notes from previous path clearances to give you an idea of what goes on.
A Big Thank You to the 7 volunteers who turned up last Thursday with the intention of trying to clear a dreadfully overgrown footpath. However, the CWAC Contractor had beaten us to it and as you can see in one of the photos it was now like a Motorway with a visible and working kissing gate. Nethertheless there was still work to do and we cleared the Bridleway on the way to the Footpath with the help of Tim and his brushcutter. Then we moved on to the commemorative seat in Cuckoo Lane for Max Kirby who worked across the Wirral on Footpath preservation and maintenance and was Chairman of the WFOSPS in the distant past.
A Big Thanks to the 6 volunteers who turned up last Thursday including Tim with his Brushcutter. We made good progress on the first part of the path towards the Dungeon when coincidentally we met Andy who works for WBC who had strimmed from Thurstason Church up to and past the Dungeon with his petrol Brushcutter. This resulted in the whole path being cleared.
A Big Thank You to the 8 volunteers who turned up on Thursday to help clear the rest of the Footpath from Benty Heath Lane towards Willaston Mill even without the help of the Brushcutter !
26th March 2015 - Despite much trepidation as to what I might find today I started this season's inspecting from the roads without walking the actual paths. I was pleasantly surprised as things are generally in good shape. Has the CWAC contractor started early or are members of the public doing some tidying and cutting back? Nick and Marion
