A diversion has been put in place for walkers and cyclists using the path and the SDNPA says a route will be re-opened once the trees have been safe.

A spokesperson for the Park Authority said: “Part of the Egrets Way shared use path has been temporarily closed between the railway underpass and Ham Lane and a diversion put in place for walkers and cyclists.

“This closure has been necessary for public safety due to unsafe trees. The route will be reopened as soon as possible once the trees have been made safe.

“We apologise for any inconvenience.”
