Kind-hearted elderly residents clear footpath for community access
The pathway which is near St John’s Church in Stanground leads toward the city centre and is a regular for dog-walkers. The footpath was ridden with branches which made walking down there a ‘nightmare’ for locals.
Beaming granddaughter Keely-Jo Phillips said she was ‘incredibly proud’ of her grandparents. The wonderful kind gesture has been recognised by hundreds of residents on Facebook, calling him a 'star' and a 'legend'. Many more have offered to continue to help out with the pathway to keep it clear.
After hours of hard work the path is now fully-accessible. Not stopping there, Chris has also created a bench out of logs and installed this to make the area more pleasant.
