A planning recommendation for the Bridgnorth refreshment rooms was for access to Pan Pudding Hill. Shropshire Wildlife Trust subsequently prepared a recommendation for the whole hill, including a steadily graded path in a zig-zag formation up the south face to the summit, for which the Railway would need the consent of Shropshire County Council. In October 2022 a Severn Trent Water team, as part of that company’s community assistance scheme, helped construct a flight of steps up to the fence alongside the headshunt, providing for future access.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bloct22 Branch Lines October 2022</ref>
