STANTON DEVELOPMENT
It looks like our countryside around Stanton-By-Dale will be getting a reprieve from the intrusion of the new road. The proposed road route is planned to go over the railway and river by bridge and come out at Trowell. Lets not get too complacent however, there could always be a change of mind.
If you do encounter problems on a footpath then please report it to the Rights of Way Team based at Shand House, Dale Road South, Matlock, DE4 3RY or telephone Derbyshire County Council Environmental Services. You can also use one of their Reporting Path Problems forms available from most libraries, or email: esprow@derbyshire.gov.uk . Always remember to give a brief description of the problem and the map reference. If you could also notify the Footpath Secretary of any problems reported, alternatively he can report it on your behalf.
