The planned Onslow Road to Raleigh Road footpath renovation is now completed and open for use with a significantly wider footpath being achieved.
The contract has been completed by local company and Devon County Council approved contractor 'Devonshires' with photographs available here http://www.devongroundmaintenance.co.uk/news/index.php.
There has also been a central handrail installed to assist people using the path, making it a much safer pathway than before.
The project has been co-funded by Devon County Council footpaths and Salcombe Town Council. |

Salcombe was most proud to welcome and host a Royal visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall on Monday 11th July 2011.
With Salcombe Harbour and estuary being part of the Duchy Of Cornwall Estate, the visit primarily observed the many facets of the estuary, which is managed by the Salcombe Harbour Authority and South Hams District Council. The Royal couple also took time to meet with some of the people who contribute to the town and the emergency services.
The Duke and Duchess spent nearly two hours viewing the town and meeting many of the businesses and people.
