Connect2
Connect2
is a joint project between Stockport Council and Sustrans
to create an Off Road
Route between Stockport and Marple.
When
the route is completed it will link with the Middlewood Way and provide
a
Commuter route into Stockport and a leisure route to Macclesfield and beyond.
The
latest information provided by the Leader of Stockport Council
is that the
project will be completed by March 2013.
Work has started on the path down
from Marple Hall School to the Bridge.
Work on the foundations for the bridge has commenced,
however recent high water levels have washed away part of a temporary causway and may result in delays.
It has been recognised that it and the extension to Bredbury
will become part of NCN Route 55.
however this will need considerable improvement to the surface and drainage of the extension
before it becomes a useful route for general use.

Stockport
has now introduced RSS feeds, go to their home
page and click on RSS.
Stockport is trying to discover all the short-cuts and links that cyclists can use and to place them on their next issue of the Cycling Map.
They also want to be made aware of any traffic
lights that don't recognise the presence of a cyclist
and of any road facilities
eg traffic calming, road layouts etc- that are considered to be anti-cycling.
If you know of any of these please contact Stockport's Cycling Officer
Additional to this they urgently want info on any worn out Cycle Logos and Advanced Stop Lines.
