Woodlands Public Footpath

The Parish Council has been dismayed to find that the signpost at Woodlands has once again been cut down. This coupled with the continued lack of access along the public footpath through "The Woodlands" has been a continued matter of concern for the Parish Council and a subject of action for our Cornwall Councillor Cllr Jim Gale.

Members of the public are encouraged to discuss this and other matters pertaining to Footpaths in South Hill in Cornwall Councils consultation initiative "Rights of Way Improvement Plan"
