Arnside to Grange Multi-user Trail

Morecambe Bay Partnership, the charity which created the immensely popular and award-winning Bay Cycle Way, invites local communities to discuss and comment on a cycling and walking trail connecting Arnside and Grange-over-Sands across the Arnside Viaduct. The creation of an accessible route across the Arnside Viaduct has been a longstanding aspiration for many local people and organisations. With funding from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities ‘Coastal Revival Fund’, earlier this year, Morecambe Bay Partnership appointed a specialist contractor, PJA Consulting, to develop a feasibility study to determine if there were viable options to progress these community aspirations. During the first phase of this feasibility study there was an overwhelming and positive response to a public survey. Since then, PJA have developed route options, economic projections, prepared a business case and visual representations of how the trail might look. This phase of work is complete and Morecambe Bay Partnership invites communities of Grange and Arnside to consultation events in November. Communities will be able to see the proposed route and the benefits it could bring, speak to the experts, ask questions and share their views. Drop-in events to discuss and talk to PJA consultants and other stakeholders are booked for: Arnside: WI Village Hall, Orchard Road, Arnside on Tuesday 8th November from 15.00-18.30 pm.
