Totnes and Littlehempston Cycle / Footpath Scheme and the Council's Cycling and Multiuse Trail
Councillor Hodgson to move:
That the proposed Cycle and footpath link scheme between Totnes and Littlehempston be added to the County Council’s current Cycling and Multiuse Trail strategy as this will:
1. provide an important non-vehicular link between Totnes and its adjacent parish and village centre in Littlehempston;
2. support the SHDC A385 Air Quality Management Action Plan (it is listed as an action) to address traffic congestion and air quality in Totnes and environs;
3. complete an important missing link of the national NC2 cycle route (which when complete will link Dover in Kent with St Austell in Cornwall) supporting commuters as well as tourism; and,
4. thereby support DCC’s declaration of a climate emergency.
