    ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PANEL 22 SEPTEMBER 2020 4. BROXBOURNE LOCAL CYCLING AND Planning Policy Manager WALKING INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN RECOMMENDED that a presentation on the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan be received. For members’ information, the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan is circulated separately. Background The Broxbourne Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan was first introduced in 2017. The Panel will receive an update on the work being done that is related to the Plan. Conclusion The Panel is asked to consider the issues raised and to give any feedback it may have. Contact Officers: List of Background Papers: Mr M Paine (Ext 5563) None. 5. NEW RIVER SHARED PATH Head of Community Infrastructure and Regeneration RECOMMENDED that a presentation on the New River Shared Path be received. Background The New River Path, running through the borough, is a combination of footpaths, public rights of way and permissive access given by Thames Water - the main landowner. The widths along the current route are varied with some very narrow sections and others that are much more generous. Additionally, the surfacing is also varied with just a grass covering in places. The proposals would create a continuous route starting from the M25 in Waltham Cross and finishing near the John Warner School in Hoddesdon. The Panel will receive a presentation on proposals for a shared path through the borough, for both walkers and cyclists as well as those with mobility issues. Conclusion The Panel is asked to consider the issues raised and to give any feedback it may have. Contact Officers: List of Background Papers: Mr A Cuffaro (Ext 5539) None.
