Notice Title

Award of Vale of Alford Paths Network Feasibility Study

Notice Description

The purpose of this study is to provide a strategic overview of the scope to provide a strategic network appraisal of recreational and active travel possibilities in the Vale of Alford. The network will enable the paths group to work with a range of delivery partners to optimise funding and deliverability efforts. The network plan should identify improvement options to improve the links between the Vales communities. The Vale of Alford Community Group are keen to explore and enhance the areas overall walking and cycling connectivity. As an active group within the community, they have recently undertaken a community survey. The results identified a strong demand for network path improvement and appetite for future use. Recent advice received by the group from a funding provider, 'Paths for All' has highlighted the criticality in developing a strategic network plan of the area which can identify 'quick wins', eligible for future funding.

The network will enable the paths group to work with a range of delivery partners to optimise funding and deliverability efforts. The network plan should identify improvement options to improve the links between the Vales communities. The Vale of Alford Community Group are keen to explore and enhance the areas overall walking and cycling connectivity. As an active group within the community, they have recently undertaken a community survey. The results identified a strong demand for network path improvement and appetite for future use. Recent advice received by the group from a funding provider, 'Paths for All' has highlighted the criticality in developing a strategic network plan of the area which can identify 'quick wins', eligible for future funding.",
