Infrastructure Minister Eddie Noel got on his bike to open the first section of the path in St Peter’s Valley. He was joined by St Mary Constable Juliette Gallichan, Deputy Richard Rondel and St Lawrence Constable Deidre Mezbourian.

Work on the first phase of the path, from Tesson Mill to the bottom of Mont Fallu, began in November.

There are two further phases of the project which will extend it to La Dimerie, close to the site of the former Fantastic Tropical Gardens.

It is expected that the whole path will be completed by spring 2018.
