AS RESURFACING works on one section of The Greenway in Stratford are completed – more are on the horizon.
A final sweep of the resurfaced section between Seven Meadows and Milcote will take place on Monday (November 17) and Tuesday (November 18). This work will complete the enhancement of this stretch of the Greenway, leaving a high-quality all-weather surface.
The Greenway will remain open throughout, although access may be restricted at certain points. People visiting the Greenway on these days are asked to follow safety signage and instructions from operatives and keep clear of the vehicles carrying out the works.
These works follow a ‘bedding in’ period for the two-layer tar and chip surface laid in May 2024. With this process now complete, a final sweep will be carried out to remove any remaining loose stones and further enhance the finished surface.
Warwickshire County Council’s heritage spokesperson Coun Darren Cheshire said: “We expect this final phase of work to further enhance the surface of our much-loved Greenway and ensure it continues to be enjoyed by walkers, cyclists, families and horse riders for many years to come. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we carry out this process.”
And funding of £660,000 has been awarded for improvements to the Long Marston to Milcote Road section, allocated by Stratford District Council from the Strategic Community Infrastructure Levy – money local authorities can collect from housing developers to fund infrastructure.
Additional details on this project will be shared as they are confirmed.
