Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9351

Received: 28/07/2022

Respondent: Mrs Sylvia Lorenzo

Representation Summary:

This proposes a cycle link to Shortstown/Cotton End that would be close to the North end of Shocott Spring and would be an ideal cycle route to Wixams station (when and if that happens). Ideally it would connect to the existing right of way between Sefton Fields and Shocott Spring and/or with the cyclepath on the A600. Shortstown greatly needs rights of way for walking and cycling to the east towards Elstow and Wixams. Ideally to connect to the Bunyan trail and enable greater opportunity for travel on bicycle of by foot for residents of the Borough.
