The latest confirmed development in the seasonal road gate is that a new seasonal file opens with a named site and a dated measure. The update comes from the high path gate above the western grove; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.
Mira Fen, path gate keeper, confirmed 39 open days recorded with a surface condition in the file. The previous window recorded 40; the totals do not settle whether to open one branch before the full path is safe for carts.
The unresolved point is specific: Walkers can use the north branch earlier. Carriers want one opening date that applies to the whole route. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.
Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.
NEXT UPDATE: The Year fifth, budbreak window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Path keepers will publish separate foot and cart openings for one trial season. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
