Dangerous catch on gate on route Q – from New bridge to Catherton. May be awkward to fix in situ. Would be easier to fit a new gate with safe catch.
John to contact Council to ask for a 4′ gate and also tall way marker posts (need 1 for route F at Upper Marshes which has been snapped and removed by timber extractors).
