We are attending the East Midlands Cycle Forum today in Derby, and are really looking forward to hearing a presentation from PJA on the forthcoming Infrastructure guidance publication

Paths locally are suffering from encroachment of vegetation creeping onwards along the edges, reducing widths to footpath dimensions.. we have an idea to fix it but need an old plate compactor/whacker to make a prototype .. can anyone help?

Short sighted plans from Authorities in charge of historic assets are irreversible and prevalent. So much social good can come from historic infrastructure it should be “listed” by default.

Another small step forward in our area of influence, the connectivity improvements are welcome, the additional demand for better cycling trails to be embraced, we just wish the grander projects were higher up the list.... derbyshire.gov.uk/council/news-e…

Had a fantastic meeting last night with a local gent who will help underpin the accessibility detail of our ongoing campaigns. Great to hear evidence of the scope and diversity of people using the local trail network

On this website you can help raise the awareness of those areas that you’ve discovered during lockdown that impede space and access for walking and cycling... get to work everyone widenmypath.com

Great to engage with the new #bolsover MP Mark Fletcher on a couple of occasions, including a #TheTimeIsNow Virtual lobby earlier. Our vision for a joined up greenway network seems to be firmly on his radar and complimentary to his aims.

Hey Avant Homes , when will you complete the connection to the Clowne Branch Greenway from your #Creswell Skinner St Development? The community (and your new residents) are itching to use the new link. It should be easy, your compound is no longer in the way

Oh my god... this idea has been in my head for years and this has just popped up in my twitter feed ... but I thought I was mad. This proves it’s perfectly possible to use Goats to maintain our Greenways !!

Its our view that every metre of the Uk’s disused railway network, is precious and should be protected to preserve its heritage and future public use (ideally as a greenway). If you agree, please take the time to sign this petition

We’ve spent most of this weekend mapping out the local trail network, our suggested improvements and some of Bolsover District Council’S strategic cycle infrastructure improvements to see if a node based network is achievable.... it is ! So exciting to see it take shape

We really can’t wait for the day it links seamlessly with Creswell Crags 🦣 and Clumber Park, National Trust to the East, the TPT to the west and we hope it meets a future Bolsover Greenway that runs all the way to Hardwick Hall and Stainsby Mill and the brilliant Pheonix Greenways network

The usage stats for the new Clowne Greenway are brilliant ! Great to see this new trail justifying the investment with an impressive uptake.

Great news… we’ve been pushing for the eastern end of the Greenway to be completed for some times. Now, let’s crack on with the western end connecting into Poolsbrook now that the spectre of HS2 has evaporated
