'Win-win' says council as work set to start on forest walkway

WORK is finally set to start on a major revamp of facilities at the Guisborough Forest Walkway.

- By STUART ARNOLD

Redcar and Cleveland Council was awarded levelling up funding from the previous Conservative Government after a successful bid for projects in Guisborough and elsewhere, which included the walkway.

It recently appointed construction services company Meldrum to carry out the "significant enhancements" which incorporate an extension to the forest visitor centre.

The work costing more than £674,000 will see:

The cafe expanded to accommodate more seating, doubling in size;

An exhibition space increased to showcase a wider range of exhibits;

An upgrade of toilet facilities;
