Path Issues and Path Maintenance
In normal times we hold 2 path maintenance events a month. which are advertised
on the events page. We have started these again and will start advertising them
shortly.
If you wish to join our path maintenance group please contact the group organiser
on PathTeam@wellingtonwalkersarewelcome.org.uk. He will send you
the necessary registration form to enable you to join the
Telford and Wrekin Council Volunteer Scheme.
Please use the same email to let us know of paths that need attention.
We will try to get permission to clear any local paths reported to us.
The path team's last pre- Covid event was on 5th March clearing fallen trees on The Ercall

In Telford & Wrekin you can report blocked and obstructed paths and missing signposts on the Council's website using 'report a rights of way' problem. You can also report footpath problems as you walk around with photos on a mobile phone by downloading The Everyday Telford App.
We are the proud possessors of a brush cutter. There are some photos of the results of its recent uses here.
