Perranuthnoe Village Notice Board

Hello Perranuthnoe, as some of you may know already I rent some fields with the Churchway footpath (footpath 8) running along the side. Its in the Marazion direction from village church, with electric fencing in it. Over the years the path has encroached into the field and needs to be re-instated. There seems to be some misunderstandings about who should be responsible for the path, as the electric fence to keep the pigs in is regularly moved back into the field.

As you all know when the fence touches vegetation it earths out and is equivalent to leaving the gate open. I spoke to Hannah Bratley at Cornwall Council responsible for footpaths. She has given the matter a reference number Ref;- 091683115 and has said it is not my resonsibility to maintain the path closer to the hedge. This lies with the person who normally looks after the paths in this area.

Hannah can be contacted on 0300 1234 222 if you require more information.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Karen Wall
