Rotten tree on the footpath from East Knowstone to Roachill via Shapcott Barton

Walkers! Please be aware that on the footpath from East Knowstone to Roachill via Shapcott Barton (just past the second gateway and up from the stream, coming from East Knowstone), there is a rotted out tree (fairly substantial) that looks as though it has been snapped off at the base of the trunk, and is leaning across the footpath against a tree opposite. I don't think at the moment this is causing a problem, but under high winds it could become dislodged and fall. I have reported this to the Footpaths Department, and no doubt they will send out a contractor to deal with the problem.  -- Cllr Timothy Browse, footpath warden
