MY husband and I went for an evening stroll enjoying the lovely summer sun.

We decided to walk along the River Foss from Brownies' Dyke near Castle Mills Bridge towards New Walk Terrace.

What a state the locks are in near Castle Mills Bridge.

The paths outside the lock gates are full of weeds and are an eyesore. Along the river walk to Blue Bridge is full of dirt left behind after the recent floods.

Come on and clean this area up before the New Millennium Bridge is opened further up stream.
