Urmston Councillor Joanne Harding and RTG member Bob are seen here welcoming the 65 walkers who marked the re-opening of footpath Urmston 30 on Saturday 10th August 2013. The path had been
obstructed for many years by mature overgrown vegetation and electric fencing. Bob, who is an RTG Footpath Inspector, negotiated with the landowner to have the vegetation cleared and new walkers friendly gates installed in place of the electric fencing. The path is the only direct pedestrian link on official rights of way between Urmston and the Trans Pennine Way and the River Mersey. Quite an achievement!
