Hassocks to Ditchling pathway improvements

Hassocks to Ditchling pathBalfour Beatty and Hobart Paving Company have joined forces to provide some FREE pathway improvements to a Public Right of Way between Hassocks and Ditchling. 

Balfour Beatty is working with Mid Sussex District Council to improve path, cycle and bridleways around Burgess Hill, so that people can share each route safely and travel throughout the town without being so reliant on the road network. As part of the contract for that work, Balfour has pledged to support local voluntary groups with projects that improve the local area and add social value.

They approached the Monday Group, a band of Sussex volunteers who help to maintain stiles and Public Rights of Way, and were told about a problematic stretch of path between Hassocks and Ditchling. The popular pathway had become dangerous after eroding away and in the winter months it was extremely slippery when crossing the small stream.

By working together, the companies were able to help the Monday Group raise a section of the path by the stream and resurfaced it to provide a safe crossing for residents all year round.

Although most legal restrictions have been lifted and many people have been vaccinated, Coronavirus has not gone away and remains a serious health risk. It is still possible to catch and spread COVID-19, even if you are fully vaccinated, so it remains important we all take steps to protect each other. 

COVID-19 will be a feature of our lives for the foreseeable future, so we need to learn to live with it and manage the risk to ourselves and others. Everyone must continue to get a test if you develop COVID-19 symptoms, even if your symptoms are mild, and isolate if you test positive or are told to do so by NHS Test and Trace. You can help to protect yourself and others by limiting the number of people you socialise with, keeping your distance, meeting outside or letting fresh air in.

If you have not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine, you should get vaccinated because it is a safe and effective way to obtain the best protection against COVID-19.
