A team of councillors from various parishes has been working on creating a cycle superhighway to link towns and villages along the Tyne Valley. Plans are afoot to connect Hexham and Corbridge, with work hopefully starting soon on the project. To link Riding Mill with Stocksfield and Corbridge has its challenges – please click on the image below to read a paper detailing ideas of how this can be achieved. We’ll be sharing this document with our local MP and the County Council and will be promoting it whenever possible or when funding opportunities are identified. We’d love to hear residents views and suggestions so please get in touch if you feel you can add to the plan.
