It may have taken a long time but the steps up the banks on either side of Cherry Orchard now have new handrails fitted.
Discussed back in January 2022, approved a year later in March 2023, and fitted very recently.
Now elderly residents can use these steps with a greater degree of safety, with handrails to hold on to when wet, windy, or even just every time….
These rails will now make it possible to get from the road up to the path, in relative safety, without having to walk to either the top or bottom of the road where the path and road meet on the same level.
Funded jointly by Wiltshire Council and Marlborough Town Council, an important and valuable addition for the residents, many of whom are elderly who live there and need to use these steps.
