Essential repair work has begun on a path that runs alongside a beautiful piece of Cobham riverside.
The path between the old fire station and Cobham Mill is uneven and becomes a collection of puddles after rain so a new all-weather surface will replace the 300m stretch of worn out pathway.
The repair work is part of the Cobham Conservation and Heritage Trust (CCHT) ambitious £135,000 Riverhill Regeneration Project.
The hard-wearing surface will benefit the community all year round by linking Cobham’s town centre to Stoke D’Abernon.
Gerald Acher, chairman of the CCHT said: “The new path is instrumental to the success of the Riverhill Project as it is the link between the High Street and the Tilt.
“People will be able to walk or ride safely in either direction, whatever the weather. While the work may cause some short-term disruption, we hope the new pathway surface will be a huge improvement for a long time to come.”
The work, which started on May 21, is expected to take three weeks to complete, during which time the path will be closed.
