Description

Total Quantity or Scope

There are approximately 1,500 public rights of way within the Wrexham County Borough which amounts to 850km. The Public Rights of Way section annually installs approximately 150 galvanised pedestrian gates, 100 stiles and 150 signposts. In addition to this ditch crossings / small footbridges are installed together with the installation of handrails and steps.

In November of each year approximately 25 paths will also need to be cleared of leaf litter.
