Willenhall North Liberal Democrat councillors Val Woodruff, Ian Shires and Pete Hughes have called on the Safer Walsall Partnership to resolve deep-seated anti social behaviour issues along the linear walkway that was the old mineral railway line from the Beacon Estate in the North and and the walkway between Littleton Road Forest Gate and Coltham Road in the South.
Last week councillors, along with representatives from the Partnership and the Police walked the length of the walkways to see for themselves the extent of the abuse that this area is being subjected too.
Virtually the whole length was strewn with litter, cans, garden rubbish, old furniture and there was evidence of illegal activity where plastic had been burned off copper wire and areas where the walkway had been churned up by Quad Bikes and trail bikes.
In the sort term, a massive clean up of the area is to be organised. This will be followed up with plans which will involve the local community in medium to long term solutions to transform the walkways into the attractive amenity that all can enjoy.
