The project is now well underway with the stretch from the Devonshire Tunnel to Monksdale Road now tarmaced. The Council is undertaking some stabilisation works to the Hiscock’s Drive Bridge, so that’s why that small segment has not been re-surfaced yet.

A few residents have been in touch about the Tarmac and are concerned that Cyclists will travel very fast on it and not be respectful to pedestrians. In addition, during the project all the existing dog poo bins have been removed. Will has sought reassurance from the Two Tunnels Group and Sustrans that they will work with the cycling community to ensure respect in maintained on the shared path and to make a commitment that the bins that have been removed will be replaced swiftly.

Hopefully the Planning Application for the replacement bridge over Monksdale Road will be approved in the next week or so. We will keep you informed of developments.
