There is much concern over the new black surfacing being laid on the clifftop path just east of Hordle.
The work, which is costing £141,000, looks harsh and out of place according to some walkers.
However, Milford-on-Sea assistant parish council clerk Lynda Hynd says that the black tarmac is being “dressed with a golden brown grit” making it look much lke the old surface. The completion has been dependent on the weather.
