New bridge parapets have been installed on the Scarcliffe Footpath 7 Bridge in Langwith. Feasibility work is being carried out to assess the delivery of AW12 - Meden Trail to Wood Lane, this work includes discussions with landowners and highways safety. The Archaeological Way Access Volunteers continue to support the maintenance of the trail and delivered 108 hrs from July to September. HIPPER VALLEY Lead Officer: Anna Chapman (anna.chapman@derbyshire.gov.uk) The Hipper Valley Greenway has long awaited an extension to Holymoorside. The section linking Somersall Park (over a new bridge, through woodland to a road crossing and widened pavement) to the start of Footpath 86 has been completed in November 2015. Planning permission has been granted and funding has been secured for the continuation of the route to Holymoorside. Discussions have agreed a format for maintenance adoption and legal method to pursue creating a Cycle Track Order to ensure that this route becomes maintainable once constructed. October 2017 Update: Work is now continuing with DCE Engineers and DCC Estates to re-establish works required and to complete the landowner negotiations. Works have been re-estimated and an additional funding LTP bid has been made. It is anticipated that work may commence in the Spring, subject to the above. LITTLE EATON BRANCH LINE Lead Officer: Jenny Southwell (Jenny.Southwell@derbyshire.gov.uk) Derbyshire County Council bought a 5km section of the disused Little Eaton Branch Line, between Duffield Road, Little Eaton and Rawson Green, in 2014. LTP funding is secured to progress road crossing designs and pre project survey works. Bridges and culverts have been surveyed and necessary maintenance works have been undertaken. Trees have been inspected and necessary works undertaken. October 2017 Update: Road crossing designs ongoing. The main focus is on the road crossing at Coxbench Station, as there is also a scheme included in the LTP to signalise the Derby Road junction, which connects through to Coxbench Station. Design work is being undertaken to ensure that maximum connectivity for cyclists is achieved. Ecological surveys are currently being commissioned. CLOWNE BRANCH LINE Lead Officer: Anna Chapman (Anna.Chapman@derbyshire.gov.uk) Derbyshire County Council bought the 7.4km Clowne Branch Line from Network Rail in 2014, between Oxcroft Junction - Woodthorpe and Creswell. Public consultation has been held regarding development of a multi-user trail - the response was overwhelmingly positive.
