THE MILLENNIUM Path around Petersfield Heath pond is being widened at a cost of around £37,000 to provide more room for families, joggers and dog walkers, and should be finished by the end of October.

The work is being funded and overseen by Petersfield Town Council.

Petersfield Mayor James Dean said: “It’s a long awaited project that is being completed so well, congratulations to the contractors.”

Contractor Ray Kattenhorn said: “We’ve been approached by many people offering compliments about our work.”
