local social media / curtain twitches are reporting that there's an application to close if for 2 years in the works - not sure I believe, but would be depressing if true - as a family we use this short link more than once / day and the alt routes are poor.

When the consultation for this development was out years ago I questioned the need for the zone to include the north end of the path and was worried that it would end up with a load of placemaking hazards in the way. I do not recall any mention of any risk of it being shut for ages during development.

I once again iterated the importance of either minimising closure of the path itself, or opening a better diversion due to concerns about the length of diversion and suitability of the currently posted route for wheelchair users, prams, and cyclists as well as the impact on a nearby business.
He confirmed that the team onsite are assessing options on the next door site (where the Stables are) to see if a parallel path is possible but was clear this was being explored so couldn’t be confirmed at this moment due to both health-and-safety considerations and liaison with the leads on that site
