Several Plealey residents are involved in the 'Pontesbury P3' (Parish Paths Partnership) - a partnership with Shropshire County Council helping land owners meet their obligations to maintain public footpaths across their land. With materials support from the council, the team provides volunteer labour one morning per week to keep the footpaths open and maintained - only with permission of the land owners of course.

The team is always on the lookout for footpaths, stiles, bridges, fingerposts etc. needing maintenance work in the Pontesbury Parish area and beyond as far as Longden, Minsterley and Snailbeach.

If you see anything that the team and council may be interested in, please contact them at:

pontesburyp3@gmail.com

For each report we preferably require:

a) Grid reference (or What3Words)

b) A photograph

c) Path number (Route Code) available from the map here: <Link to Shropshire Council Map Site>

(Tick the 'Shropshire Rights of Way' box to highlight footpaths, then click on the footpath to see the Route Code).

All work is undertaken by volunteers on a part time basis and no time commitments can be given with respect to commencement or completion of repairs or maintenance work.
