Representation Summary:

All preferred cycle routes seem to lead directly to the town centre, it seems short sighted not to include a route around the perimeter of the town, particularly in view of the new cycle and equestrian path which are to be developed with the link road, and the fact that residents from Ore and Hollington may wish to travel to the hospital, schools, industrial estates, leisure facilities and large offices such as DWP & CSA on The Ridge area. A multi user path in this area, to include cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders would link into existing routes and provide a safe alternative to motorised transport on very busy roads. The trend is growing in other areas for more routes to be opened up to all non-motorised users. This increases the percentage of the network open to equestrians and cyclists with minimal cost, ensuring that best value for money is achieved
