Northern Parishes Cycling Strategy
North West Leicestershire NORTHERN PARISHES CYCLING NETWORK PLAN 1 Introduction 1.1 This report, prepared for North West Leicestershire District Council by Sustrans, presents a Cycling Network Plan for the Northern Parishes of the District. Implementation may be secured with particular help from Leicestershire County Council, the Government Office for the East Midlands, the Highways Agency, National Forest Company, East Midlands Airport and key landowners. 1.2 Principal proposals are presented under the working title “Eye of the East Midlands” in Schedule A. These would serve the development hot-spot around Kegworth, Castle Donington and EMA and include commuting links to Long Eaton, Shephed and Loughborough. Delivery could be achieved largely via Highways Agency investment following completion of the present round of Multi Modal Studies. 1.3 Other suggested priorities include routes from Ashby de la Zouch to Staunton Harold, Coleorton and Worthington respectively; all as detailed in Schedule B. 1.4 Illegal camping is a pernicious problem in the Northern Parishes area. Site security must be considered as a top priority issue wherever new access is proposed. 1.5 A map of the whole project area is tucked inside the back cover. 1.6 References to sites outside North West Leicestershire must be read as indicative and are presented here for information only. 2 Background 2.1 Due to the essential need to cut our use of fossil fuel, promotion of cycling is now a key element of public policy at national and local level. After years of being dismissed as irrelevant, the bike is now accepted as an efficient, environmentally sound and healthy means of travel which can provide a realistic alternative to the car for short [say 5-6 miles] daily trips. -

Northampton has the second largest expanse of Parks and Open Spaces in the country and I would argue that it also has some of the best. In many cases, the Parks and Open Spaces we enjoy today are the legacy of our Victorian and Edwardian ancestors who saw the value in developing these spaces for all of Northampton to enjoy. -

Milton Keynes Boundary Walk
MILTON KEYNES BOUNDARY WALK If you are planning to do this walk please read No 62 because the M1 bridge is currently closed whilst the A421 is being made into a dual carriageway. There is no alternative way across. 1 The Milton Keynes Boundary Walk is approximately 60 miles long and uses existing footpaths. It does not have its own waymarks. The originator was Christopher Meredith and it was developed in conjunction with the Milton Keynes Borough Council, local groups of the Long Distance Walkers Association and Ramblers Association and with the help of local landowners. The original format was a leaflet showing the route in map form, with numbered points showing very brief descriptions. This leaflet was never updated and is no longer available. I decided to keep the Walk alive by putting it into the form of this detailed written route description, which I hope makes it easy to follow. I have kept the numbered points from the original leaflet, in case it is ever updated and reprinted. Where numbers are missing it means that section has had to be changed from the original route, due to legal diversions. Many areas of the walk have changed considerably since the walk was first published and no doubt many more changes will be taking place due to the expansion plans for Milton Keynes. This means that the OS map may not always be up to date. Should you come across any problems or changes on route I would appreciate it if you would let me know, to enable me to keep the Walk up to date. -
