WALKERS and joggers will soon be able to make use of a new area of woodland, near Darlington Football Club's stadium.
Geneva Wood, at the top of Neasham Road, has been developed into a wildlife area.
A grant from the Barclays Sitesavers scheme is now being used to improve footpaths in the area.
The money will allow the local group of the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers to create a footpath system, including a "trim trail" for joggers.
The project will involve mental health patients from the occupational therapy unit at Darlington Memorial Hospital, who have formed a walking club to regularly use the woods
