A POPULAR path has had to be extended after its popularity increased.

In an update from Kirkbride parish council, they said: “As a result of the increased use of the new footpath past the pumping station, we’ve extended the footpath at each end to make it easier and less muddy to access the path. We hope this proves satisfactory for you all. Thanks to Councillor Rod Mostyn and Derek Tweddle for helping complete this work”
