The residents of Whitehead regard the Blackhead path as an important asset to our area. Unfortunately it has been closed for some time where the path goes around the lighthouse. This is an amazing part of the path walking close to the sea, through a cave, up to the lighthouse with amazing views. The path has been closed here for some time and the fencing is falling apart. Urgent action is needed and residents would like the path open. With a population of over 3000 people this path provides access for all - it's flat for the first part so suitable for buggies and wheelchairs. It's free so open to all. Walking is good for mental and physical health.Its all a tourist asset. We would therefore request that Mid and East Antrim Council progress the reopening of the path and that monthly updates are given to the residents of Whitehead .
