Controversial path through Battlemead East Field approved by councillors

[Cookham Webmaster]

Battlemead Common’s East Field will see a new path installed after councillors approved the proposal at cabinet last night.

A report presented by Cllr Donna Stimson (Con, St Mary’s) was approved unanimously by the administration, paving the way for a ‘new fenced and screened path through the East Field’.

The path is set to be open by April 2022, with seasonal access from April until October to ensure the protection of overwintering birds from disturbance.
