A SENSORY route at Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park in Normanby has suffered from an identity crisis.

The route, used by youngsters with sight impairments, includes a bird hide made from railway sleepers and a mini-beast study area.

However, users are having problems identifying what areas are for.

The bird hide has been mistaken for a climbing frame, while the study area, which resembles a large rubbish bin, has been used to deposit litter.

Now a two-week project, led by local artist Derek Mosey and his partner Helen Gaunt and funded by Redcar and Cleveland Council and the Countryside Agency, has produced a solution.

Countryside warden Helen Taylor said: "The bird hide will have carvings of birds and woodland scenery and the study area will have an identification panel in carved wood, so there should be no problems in future with people not realising what they are.
