Members were updated on the Rights of Way Improvement Plans for Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester.  The report outlined details of the current projects on the general infrastructure, access for equestrian and off road cyclists, accessibility and events and promotions.

Progress on the following projects was reported:

Cheshire East

• Crewe to Nantwich Greenway
• Gritstone Trail – crossing on A54
• Long distance horse ride
• Stapeley Footpath No.1
• Pickmere Footpath No.13

Cheshire West and Chester

• Cuddington new footpath to link with Footpath No. 21
• Flintshire to Neston Cycleway
• North West Costal Trail
• Delamere Loop
• Weaver Valley projects

Denise Snelson reported that Cheshire West and Chester Council had completed an Open Space Audit and Assessment of Need Household survey, along with consultation with Town/Parish Councils, recreational organisations and the public, on their Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2011-2016.  The results from these had been used to produce a ‘Statement of Action’ and ‘Improvement Implementation Plan’ for the next five years and it was hoped that the final version of the Improvement Plan would be available in January 2012.
