ROADS AND PATHWAYS
Also, Cambridgeshire County Council works in partnership with local parishes to improve, maintain and promote the public rights of way network within individual parishes. The scheme is called the Parish Paths Partnership (P3) and parishes that are members receive the support of the Parish Paths Liaison Officer based at the County Council and grant-funding for work. Reach has recently joined this scheme and the Parish Council are looking for volunteers to assist in this very worthwhile initiative. If you want to learn more about the Parish Paths Partnership (P3), please click on the link and if you want to volunteers, please get in touch with the Clerk to the Parish Council. If you want to learn more about what to do if you have a problem to report, please go to their web page by clicking on this link. Alternatively, there is a new, easy to use website FIXMYSTREET which you can use for reporting issues, including pot-holes - have a look at www.fixmystreet.com.
