Cycle Tracks Order - Bowden Housteads Woods

This one legally confirms the track between the Mosbrough Parkway/Sheffield Parkway and Handsworth Rd (ASDA) as a cycle track. This cuts off an unnecessary section of NCN Route 67, which takes you up to the next bridge before doubling back (& means that Sustrans Rangers can sign it) as well as providing a link between the TPT/NCN & Hansworth Rd so if you are a primarily on-road cyclist you can use the tarmac traffic-free sections of the Trans-Pennine Trail to avoid busy inner city roads and then take to Handsworth Rd, which as a former A-road that has now been bypassed by the Mosbrough Parkway, isn't all that busy. So it's perhaps of more use to CTC-type cyclists than people who would prefer to religiously take the Sustrans route. 


The track was upgraded some time ago but this Order if approved will legally confirm its status, and may help in tackling the problems of anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping etc that occur in this area.
