I WOULD like to express my thanks to the volunteers who are making improvements to the footpath alongside the River Foss, heading towards the King George V playing field.

This particular area becomes extremely muddy when wet, so as a long-term user of the path for dog walking, I really appreciate these improvements and trust that other dog walkers will respect it and not allow fouling to occur, as has happened on the surrounding area and playing field.
