Liberal Democrat Councillor Cahal Burke welcomes the improved path at Hayfield Avenue, Oakes. The improvement works have been funded from Kirklees StreetScene Budget.

Cllr Cahal Burke (Lindley Ward) says:

“Many local residents have contacted me about the state of this path and the difficulty for residents and school children to get through, especially when the weather has been bad, it was virtually impassable.

I am delighted to say, this path has recently been improved, by having road planings rolled in to form a much more suitable surface. It is a vital link, providing access to both Huddersfield New College and Salendine Nook High School and has had no proper surface for a very long time.

I know there will be a huge sigh of relief from everyone who lives on Hayfield Avenue and surrounding roads and those who use this path regularly, as we have been asking for this to happen for such a long time. I can confidently say that the Council have done an excellent job with the road planing and I am hopeful that this path can be maintained and looked after in future by the Council.”
