Wiveliscombe now has 9 newly installed kissing gates on 2 very popular foot paths.
The Town Council, working in partnership with the Somerset Rights of Way Team, have replaced all the wooden stiles with metal stock proof kissing gates.
This will greatly improve access for all local walkers but particularly those who were finding the stiles difficult to manage.
The WaW steering group were aware that the stiles, some of which were very high and not always in the best state of repair, were a real problem for some walkers. We are very pleased to have been able to liaise with our Town and County Council to improve access to all the beautiful countryside surrounding Wiveliscombe.
