Low Carbon: Rural promenade between Nantwich and Crewe unveiled
AN AMBITIOUS scheme to create a rural promenade between Nantwich and Crewe has been unveiled.
The £1.46m project, funded through green group Sustrans' Connect2, plans to provide a safe and attractive environment for walking and cycling between the two towns in a bid to reduce the number of cars on Cheshire East Council roads.
Council staff were on hand at the Connect2 event, held in Crewe's Queen's Park, to provide information on the project.
Residents were given the chance to express their views on the scheme and provide feedback.
Cllr David Brickhill, portfolio holder for environmental services, said: "This project will not only create a scenic and peaceful route between Nantwich and Crewe but will also help to reduce the number of cars travelling along the nearby A530.
"It will also increase safety for cyclists, who will now have an alternative to Middlewich Road.
"It will connect the riverside walks in Nantwich with Queen's Park in Crewe. It will also create links to Malbank School, Reaseheath College, Middlewich Road and Nantwich town centre.
"A footbridge across the River Weaver in Nantwich has already been completed."
