Dorset Council has received funding from the Government’s Transforming City\u2019s Fund to create an off-road Cycleway from Verwood to Ringwood.<\/p>\n

Work is scheduled to start in the Spring of 2021 and be complete in the summer.<\/p>\n

The route takes in current paths and quiet roads between Potterne Park and the Castleman Trailway – through Moors Valley.<\/p>\n

A more direct route – along the B3081 has been suggested but was dismissed due to complications.<\/p>\n

Councillor Toni Coombs says: “Suitable for families as well as enthusiast cyclists, it will be a safe route through Potterne Park to Moors Valley then joining up with the Castleman Trailway into Ringwood.<\/p>\n

“It has taken over ten years to achieve this; and for absolute clarity, there is no other option available. The original suggestion of a cycleway immediately adjacent to the B3081 is considered unsafe and would require landowner consent. <\/p>\n

“With some of the route in Hampshire this would also require cross border agreement. With a likelihood of more years of delay as the route would also be close to the planned Purple Haze mineral extraction site. <\/p>\n

“It is doubtful a cycleway could ever be deliverable at all along this route.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
