Adding some details to your reports to CROWS

Sending CROWS any of these details will save us time, in some cases it will mean we don’t have to send a volunteer to inspect the problem.

Stiles and gates etc:

  • Is it dangerous?
  • What needs replacing (for a stile – the treadboards, the side-uprights, the step legs, the cross rails … or the whole structure!)

Drainage

  • Is the route impassable or ok with boots or walking shoes or is it a minor issue?

Encroaching vegetation

  • Is the route impassable, very narrow or painful (prickles/nettles etc)
  • Type of vegetation – soft like grass or woody like brambles and trees

Waymarking

  • Path route is very confusing
  • Existing post just needs a waymark disc or a new post is needed
