Path Closure at Steeton Bowling Green
The paths around the Steeton Bowling Green will be unfortunately have to be closed off from today until further notice, following a recent Health and Safety Audit Inspection which identified issues with the condition of the path edge. Given that estimates for rebuilding the entire edge of the paths and re-tarmacking is around £80,000, the Parish Council cannot afford to do the work in full for the foreseeable future. However, we are working with the Steeton & Eastburn Crown Green Bowling Club on a package of measures to put in place before the start of the 2025 Bowling season which would enable this much-loved community group to continue at the site for the 2025 Season, albeit with restricted access. Whilst we are aware that residents also use the path and benches, we apologise in advance for this facility not being available but obviously must put safety first.
