Twenty local walkers and dogs enjoyed a gentle stroll around Wistaston – to sustain an old bye-law in the village, writes Jonathan White.
The event was organised by Helen Gould, one of the Wistaston Community helpers, and the route lasted 90 minutes over 2.5 miles of the village fields.
Beating the bounds of Wistaston will ensure public footpaths may be used by the public for another year – an old bye-law for all villages and towns.
Helen said: “I re-introduced the walk in memory of Geoff Armitage who passed away this year.
“Geoff was a stalwart of the local community and organised the Boxing Day walk himself over many years until his health started to deteriorate.
“The participants really enjoyed the walk and it added to the local community spirit.
“We have decided to make this a regular walk each year and all are very welcome, wherever they live”.
The Wistaston Community Council also organises the annual Wistaston Fete, Flower and Produce Show, Spring and Christmas Concerts, and the November Fireworks Display.
They are keen to attract new helpers to help organise the Wistaston-based events.
