Troy Ascott said the new path was welcome. “With no designated pathway, students previously had to negotiate their way to school using the road or the grass verge,” he said. “Parents are extremely relieved and thankful that the footpath is now open which will allow their children a much safer journey to and from school.” Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez said the pathway, on the southern side of the road, had been well received by locals.
