The cycle path plan is moving along well. I’ve recently assembled documents to justify the plan to the County Council. Due to changes in the way highways works are funded, we actually have a realistic prospect of getting the cycle path constructed in the short-term. Feasibility work has begun and schematic designs will follow. We still need to get as many people as possible to follow the Facebook page or sign the online petition so that we can demonstrate to the Council that the plan has widespread support and that the path would be well-used.

We have been waiting a long time for the footpath. Living in Norton Fitzwarren and travelling by car to Bishops Lydeard I see cyclists and walkers dicing with death on the main Lydeard to Taunton Road. There is no doubt it will get well used. The upkeep of the path between Norton Manor camp and cross keys is shamefull its covered in weeds and over grown. This path is used alot by our local Marines. Its shocking the path is not maintained. it gets alot of use but it doesn’t go far enough along the main road.
