4July 2025 , seen that a type of ‘ dry swale’ has been created ny Parks Trust in an effort to reduce the issue with flooding on the pathway in winter months. Which is to be tested by the rain & flooding. * An ‘alternative method’ for drainage , had been employed successfully, a little further back on the same pathway ref location by what 3 words ///spires.bedspread.aunts-towards ///bins.brighter.ideas - this perhaps could be considered , if the ‘swale’ method proves ineffective .

15November2025 The dry swale’ created by Parks Trust in july ( to reduce the issue with flooding on the pathway {raised 9 March 2025} in winter months) has proven to be INEFFECTIVE . Pathway now not accessible to pedestrians or disabled mobility scooters owing to depth of water in the footpath 'dip' . The pathway has flooded and now is not accessible at this point (Approximate What3words location ///swerving.many.increases towards ///deeper.shadowing.icicles)
