Work is underway at the current far western end of

the Parkland Walk to clear vegetation and rubbish. The former twin Highgate tunnels can be seen beyond the work site shrouded in ivy. I have been unable to find out but I am wondering if this is a precursor to the reopening of the tunnels to the public as an extension of the Parkland Walk. If they were to reopen, this would provide excellent access to Highgate tube station that is a short distance beyond the western tunnel mouths. However, the tunnels are now home to bats and other rare species so re-opening could be a little problematic.
