The Hatch pathway improvement work was completed at the end of September before any adverse winter weather. This area of pathway has seen flooding for several years making it completely unusable to the residents of Burghfield. The parish council worked hard with West Berkshire Council to restore the path and maintain a safe walking route between the bus stops and village pubs. The path has now been raised with grass seed laid on the fresh topsoil, timber edging along the sides and now has a hardcore surface.
