Here's the view across the town of Welshpool to Powis Castle, from the Wiggly Path, which I walk most days. Its future is possibly under threat - Powys County Council don't want the burden of maintaining it, and offered it to Welshpool Town Council (on which I sit) for a quid. But the Town Council, on a fairly tight majority vote, supported its Stategy Committee's recommendation that the Council should not take over ownership, because to add a further financial responsibility when so much needs to be raised and spent elsewhere would be wrong. With a heavy heart, I feel I have to agree with that decision, but I remain anxious that the path be secured for the town, and designated as a public footpath. I think management by a group of supporters and friends could in fact be better than simply transferring ownership from one council to another, and so I'm testing the water to see if there are people who might want to join me in setting up a "Friends of the Wiggly Path" group. Do you use it to walk your dog or bring back your shopping? Was it your route to school in childhood days? Would you like to see it developed, with places to sit, and encouragement for birds and other wildlife? If so, I would love to hear from you!
