One of the things that can frustrate pedestrians is the lack of dropped kerbs at appropriate places on the footpath networks in Grove and Wantage. A good example in Grove is shown in the bottom two photos where the footpath between Shepherds Close and Churchward Close used to just terminate on either side of Newlands Drive. In fact, I think the footpath was forgotten about by the original developers and not completed properly.
I am glad to report that (as the top two photos show) I have just been able to arrange for this particular case to be rectified. This is one of the latest works completed using my County Councillor's Area Stewardship Fund. I hope that this will make life a lot easier for wheelchair users, disabled and elderly pedestrians and those who use pushchairs and prams... especially in their route up to the shopping precinct at Savile Way. With the current wintry weather, many people are preferring to leave their cars at home when they do their local shopping.
