Path Upgrade

It is the intention to upgrade the path along the old railway line West of Torphins to a 2m width aggregate path (please see this map for the extent of the upgrade)

The upgrade will allow other users to enjoy the path such as families with push chairs; cyclists and the less-abled.

Please submit any comments to the email address email on or before Monday 5th March 2012
