Chesterfield Cycle Campaign

Work on the Staveley North Loop road has progressed significantly and, having missed its original completion date of March 2009, now looks like it could well meet its revised target of September 2009.  The rebuilt pathway linking the Rother Valley and Arkwright branches of the Trans Pennine Trail also looks to be substantially complete.

There isn't such good news elsewhere, with the canal reconstruction and towpath still needing a significant amount of work.  It seems that the Trans Pennine Trail link to Chesterfield, already closed for around two years, will remain cut off from the rest of the network for some time to come.

New photographs of construction progress in August have been uploaded to the Image Gallery.
