Leafield road woods footpath improvements
As part of the Access to the Countryside remit, the Town Council is looking to improve the unofficial path that has been worn through the woodland and create a bonded surfaced path with appropriate fencing, gates and edging. The path will create a direct route to the primary school field and links to Leafield Road.
Scope of works:
In order to create the best possible surface in terms of accessibility, guidelines set out in the "by all reasonable means" guidance provided through Glos. PROW will be followed.
Total length of path approximately 425m - contractors are encouraged to do their own measurements.
Width of the path to be 1.8m and reducing to no less than 1.5m if required due to tree location
Finished path level will be approximately 100mm above existing ground level ensuring no gradient exceeds 1:10.
The path will be constructed on with a weed suppressing membrane, DOT Type 1, finished depth to a minimum 100mm. Path surface finished with compacted self-binding gravel 50-75mm with a camber of 1:40 fall to either side of the path.
All timber edging and stakes to be pressure treated with a minimum 10yr guarantee. Timber edging to be 6/2 timber with timber stakes to be located at a maximum of 900mm centres and all board joints.
2no. Passing-bay to be positioned centrally along the length of the path.
Existing slopes from the wooded path to the pavement on Leafield Road are to be graded to meet PROW requirements.
A new stock fence and 12-foot farm gate to be installed across existing rugby field (approx. 15m).
Vegetation & ground clearance and grading work will be required.
