THE footpath that links Longsdale Road with Benvoullin Road in Oban is much used by people walking between the town and the residential areas nearby, including Hazeldean Crescent.
But the path, through the trees behind the Atlantis Sport and Leisure Centre, is extremely poorly lit with several of the lamps along its way not working. Now that it is becoming darker with the onset of autumn, this is proving to be hazardous.
The path has a steep drop-off and the fencing is broken down or non-existent in places.
