£1 Million Lake District Path Boost
A Lottery Heritage Fund Grant of £1 million is to be spent on restoring seriously eroded paths in the Lake District

It's a good month for tired and eroded feeling footpaths in the
Lakes, a £1 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund is
going to be used to repair and restore around 125 miles of path in
the area.
It follows on from last month's news that the 'Friends
of the Lake District' organisation has donated £50,000 to be
spent on repairing seriously damaged paths on Helvellyn, Skiddaw,
Buttermere and High Street as part of the Upland Path Landscape
Restoration Project.
Good news, but dwarfed by the many millions being spent by the
government on extending the road network...
More details when we can find some.
