THE Cinder Path Shelter is scheduled to be completed before summer after years of delays, Green Party Coun Richard Longstaff has confirmed.

The shelter was left unfinished after the city council’s contractor went into liquidation, becoming an eyesore on the popular route. Follows the successful Marine Parade shelter restoration, led by campaigner Simon Gius and Coun Stuart Allen. After years of setbacks and uncertainty, the long-awaited completion of the Cinder Path Shelter is almost in sight.

Coun Longstaff, who represents Leigh Ward, has secured assurances from city council officers that the long-stalled project will be finished before the summer season, as long as there are no further complications with the project.

Coun Longstaff said: “I’m grateful to council staff for finally getting something done on this. It’s dragged on for far too long – I’m fed up, residents are fed up – so it’s reassuring to have a firm commitment that work will be completed soon.”

Coun Allen added: “I’m delighted to see progress finally being made on this shelter.

“It has taken far too long, and I really hope residents will not face any further delays.”

The repairs follow the successful commitments to a restoration of the Marine Parade shelter, a project led by campaigner Simon Gius and Coun Allen in West Leigh Ward.
