Staveley Riverside Project
Improving access in Staveley
This project is part of the Miles Without Stiles Scheme to improve access for people with limited mobility by upgrading rights of way. This includes people in wheelchairs, parents with pushchairs, and visually impaired people.
In a recent consultation we received over 150 suggestions. Staveley and Ings Parish Council suggested the Staveley Riverside route. The route runs from the Duke William pub along the path to the footbridge and then turns left along the riverside to the road.
The routes were prioritised according to criteria such as need, feasibility, facilities, proximity to public transport and cost. The project was rated second highest in the priority list. We and Staveley Parish Council wish to proceed with this project. Some preliminary work has been done to assess the feasibility and the rough cost of the project.
On 14 March 2008, 30 people attended a meeting in Staveley to gather views and ideas and to form a steering group to drive the project forward. There was good support for the scheme. A steering group has now been formed and will hold its first meeting in May 2008.
Updated information will be available on this website, in the parish newsletter and at parish meetings.
