APPROVAL has been given for the shoring up of 100m of riverside at Easby, near Richmond.
The Easby Footpath Restoration Committee, which has raised more than £25,000 towards the £75,000 project, wants to protect the popular footpath from further erosion by the River Swale.
The path was rebuilt last year after collapsing because of undercutting of the bank by the water.
Boulders will be used to stabilise the re-angled bank and willow planted to further secure the land.
Richmondshire District Council has granted permission for the scheme.
