Local footpaths

 Do you use Shinfield Parish footpaths? If so the following will be of interest to you. John and Joan Hancock are the Ramblers Association footpath officers for Shinfield Parish as from November 2010. They ask you to please take the time to let them know if there is a problem on a recognised footpath and or bridleway such as overgrown foliage, damaged stiles or gates or badly rutted surfaces. The aim is that you can walk comfortably with out dodging obstacles.
