At a meeting on Wednesday 19 March, the GCP Executive Board agreed a new alignment for phase 3 (from the A1134 to the Carter Bridge) that will link to phase 2 of the Chisholm Trail via Mill Road, alongside progressing designs for the proposed new alignment with stakeholders.

Phase 1 – connecting the village to Yarrow Road – will see some sections of work begin in June, with resurfacing works taking place along Cow Lane and Apthorpe Street prior to further Phase 1 works commencing later this year.

Planning for phases 2 and 3 will progress throughout the year.

A first public consultation was held in Autumn 2018 and our decision-making Executive Board agreed funds for the greenway in February 2020.

With updated designs, we sough public feedback for four weeks in Summer 2023. Leaflets were delivered to 9,600 households and businesses and we held an online webinar and a drop-in event anyone could attend. Anyone could submit comments online, over the phone or via the post.

Our January 2024 Executive Board meeting agreed to progress the eastern section (phase 1) with the changes outlined in our You Said We Did Report.

Subject to agreements with Network Rail further engagement on phase two of the greenway will be carried out.
