The well-needed grant, plus funding from the parish council, has enabled three difficult stiles to be replaced, on what is a busy stretch of public footpath popular with locals and those following the long distance path around the county.

Wilpshire PC Chairman, Craig Ward, said: "Thanks to the green grant from the Lancashire Environmental Fund our parish council was able to carry out these improvements, which will be well received by walkers."
