Work has begun on new housing to the rear of Green Lanes alongside the footpath which once ran across Clappers Green Farm.
There has been a footpath extending west in this location for over 500 years – the Clappers Green footpath once extended as far as the entrance to The Mall.
A section of the footpath between Green Lanes and the railway line will be narrowed by 70 cm to make way for an access road to the new properties.
