The popular walk has been closed since the storm due to the danger posed by trees that had fallen or been damaged. Over the past few weeks tree surgeons have carried out significant clearance and safety work. Fallen trees and broken and unstable branches were removed across the length of the walk. ‘We’re absolutely delighted to be able to reopen the Millennium Walk,’ said Guernsey Water customer services manager Tania Sargent.
‘Storm Goretti caused widespread damage and meant the route had to remain closed for safety reasons. We know how disappointing that is for everyone, because the walk is well used, and much loved.
‘Given the damage across the island, we had to wait our turn for the tree surgeons to be free. They have worked incredibly hard to clear the debris and make the walk safe again. We know how much people value this wonderful walk, and reopening it in time for the Bank Holiday weekend, and ahead of schedule, is fantastic news.’
Visitors may notice some remaining damage to fencing in certain areas and are asked to take care.
