We've had the following update from Stuart at ATOG (the campaign for the Arnside to Grange cycle/footpath):
’The results of County Councillor Ian Stewart’s survey are in and out of 800 sent out and 464 replies, 371 were in favour of the proposal for a cycle/footpath alongside the viaduct and 93 were against. In addition there were 48 in favour from Arnside School.
Ian says that the next step is to get this included in the Cumbria Local Transport Plan, and then to try and overcome the obstacles which have been pointed out.
Then someone will have to come up with a design that works, and then we need to see how it could be funded.
We are still waiting for a Sustrans to let us know whether Network Rail have come up with a price for the work.
Thanks to all who were able to respond to the survey.’
Since then, the Gazette have picked the story up. You can read their report here.
