Issue details

Proposed cycle track between Bathwick Street and Powlett Road, Bath

The proposal is to convert an existing footpath between Bathwick Street and Powlett Road to a cycle track. A cabinet member decision is required to authorise the making of a Cycle Track Order under the Cycle Tracks Act 1984.

The Council has been unable to identify the owner of the land over which the footpath runs which has meant that it is not possible to see if he/she would have been willing to enter into a dedication agreement with the Council to allow cyclists to use this route. Therefore, a Cycle Track Order is required to legally increase the user rights on this route to enable cyclist use. If the making of a cycle track is authorised it will then be advertised and a 28 day objection period will run from the date of advertising.
