Back in January we were disappointed to report that due to vandalism a popular footpath leading into the Thorley Wash Nature Reserve had been temporarily closed to the public. The stiles at either side of the railway line had been seriously damaged for the second time in a month.
Unfortunately, the footpath remains closed as the Herts CC Rights of Way team and Network Rail seek to agree a solution that limits the possibility of further anti social activity. I understand that Network Rail is currently assessing an option to install gates rather than wooden stiles. We’ll keep you updated on developments.
