CRAG Volunteers help Waymark Powys Byways Print E-mail
Thursday, 27 May 2010
A group of CRAG & Treadlightly volunteers have erected a number of posts and installed Waymark signs along four byways in Mid Wales.

The volunteers who are all 4x4 enthusiasts spent a day improving the waymarking of the four routes in Radnorshire to encourage users to stay on the correct track.

The project was undertaken in partnership with Powys County Council and supported by The Countryside Council for Wales. It is the second such project in Powys this year and a number of others are scheduled through the summer.

 

The signs have been installed to inform all users that the routes are multi user and also to discourage motorised users from straying off the track

 

Powys CC Senior Rights of Way & Access Officer, Mark Stafford-Tolley commented: ‘this is an excellent example of how a Rights of Way department can work in partnership with volunteers to improve the network and educate users’.

 

CRAG Chairman Paul Humphreys said: ‘this project highlights  how volunteers can help local authorities to manage their networks and we look forward to working on similar projects with Powys and other authorities through the summer’.
