Warwickshire residents will still have access to the Stratford Greenway while the Warwickshire Country Parks team carries out maintenance on the paths and verges.

Work began this week with the verges being mowed. Path repair and ditching work will also take place between Milcote and Long Marston, starting on Monday 21 November and lasting for around three weeks.

Warwickshire County Council said this will help prevent the occasional flooding of Knobbs Farm Crossing.

Countryside rangers are asking visitors to take extra care when on the paths and have also requested that dog-owners keep their pets on a lead when passing any machinery involved with the maintenance work.

Cllr Heather Timms, portfolio holder for environment, climate and culture, said: "After an incredibly busy half-term holiday across our country parks, now is the perfect time to make some important upgrades and improvements that will help keep our parks and greenways in tip-top condition.

"Works have been planned in a way that keeps disruption to a minimum, so walkers, wheelchair users, cyclists and horse-riders will still be able to enjoy travelling along the greenway surrounded by the beautiful autumnal leaves."
