Alert Dog (on steps)
Well done to Pudsey Landscapes for some much better steps. These should take the widest feet now, and hopefully alleviate slipping. Congratulations, as well to Mr Oxley’s team at Leeds Council, for a much improved path from Hillside.
Thank you also, to the gentleman who took this photograph of the steps for me; saving a walk around into the field. I know I suggested you take a picture of your ‘dog’, but I was quite surprised to find myself on the photo as well !!!

Muddy Path - before the regeneration started
Unfortunately, when it rains, the paths in the Park turn to mud, that is the nature of the geology of the Park. Today is a classic example. We are working with Bellway on ways to alleviate this, including making wide grassy areas to walk across, instead of single tracks.
One thing that will be done quickly is put an anti-slip coating on the new steps: as muddy clay on boots, from both the lane and the park mean that people need to be extra careful, and this will help.
