The plan to improve the Thames Path just upstream of Maidenhead Bridge has been downgraded after much discussion and false starts.
The garden wall at Bridge View in Ray Mead Road will be dismantled and rebuilt a little back from the road to give enough space for a footpath.
The idea of diverting the path back on to the original line of the towpath has been abandoned.
The new plan will be considered by the Maidenhead Council planning committee in the New Year.
