TIME: 18.30

Talk at Leicester Secular Hall by Hugh McClintock

Secular Hall, 75 Humberstone Gate, Leicester, LE1 1WB

River bridges cause obvious points of convergence and are often very heavily populated by motor traffic, making such routes unpleasant for walkers and cyclists. Separate bridges for these travel modes can encourage active travel by providing shorter, safe and pleasant routes. This talk will concentrate on the proposed foot-cycle bridge over the Trent to connect the former Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station site and East Midlands Parkway Station on the south side with the Chilwell, Toton, Attenborough and Long Eaton areas on the north side.
