News about both ends of the Greenway below – Lancaster to Morecambe and Lancaster to Bull Beck.
Firstly, Lancaster to Morecambe. I-Connect is a new project trying to improve active travel and public transport between Lancaster and Morecambe. (Someone has woken up to the transport implications if the Eden project goes ahead and is successful!) Anyway, they are holding a litter pick on Friday 12 January from 1.30-3.30pm, meeting at Morecambe railway station. If you are interested in joining in, please contact Jane Dalton at jane@groundswellinnovation.co.uk.
Secondly, the work at the Bull Beck end. The latest Sustrans news is:
The Sustrans project to improve the Greenway is now partially completed. Before the Christmas holidays the majority of the works were completed. Residents will notice enhancements to the route including safety improvements where the Greenway crosses Station Road, refreshed surfacing, widened access points, enhanced signage and more.
Sustrans will be returning to site in early January to complete the project by undertaking works to the Bull Beck access ramp. A much smaller closure of the greenway from Holme Lane heading east will be in place for approximately three weeks while these works are completed.
The project is also looking to engage with the local community to encourage more walking, cycling, and wheeling.
Sustrans is arranging a free, fun event day on the path in February which may include activities such as a nature trail for kids and parents and the opportunity to have a go on its smoothie bike, and more. Sustrans will publish more information about the event shortly.
It would love to hear from you if you think there is something your local group/organisation could contribute to the day – please get in touch with Sustrans directly at EnglandNorth@sustrans.org.uk
