Chesterfield Cycle Campaign

This week, the Trans Pennine Trail has been temporarily closed for maintenance and improvement.  The work is due for completion by 7th November.  Derbyshire County Council has released the following announcement:

"Derbyshire County Council has commenced maintenance and improvement works to the Trans Pennine Trail in North East Derbyshire.  The works will concentrate on a four kilometre stretch of the trail between the County boundary with South Yorkshire at Beighton and a point known locally as “Miner’s Crossing” just south of the A6135 road bridge at Renishaw.

Construction work will be undertaken by R B Allfree & Co Ltd of Chesterfield and is due to begin during the week beginning 15th September.  Works are anticipated to last for around eight weeks, finishing in early November.

During the construction period, it will be necessary to officially close the Trans Pennine Trail along this stretch to protect the safety of the general public.  Temporary closure notices providing further details will be posted on site at designated access points onto the trail.  It is our intention to retain access for all users along the trail as normal during the works as far as is reasonably practicable.

If you require any further information about the works, please contact Wayne Bexton, Greenways and Countryside Officer, on 01629 580000 or by email at wayne.bexton@derbyshire.gov.uk."
