Bike It to School in Bowerham
Improvements have been carried out to the cycle/footpath which links the Hala estate to the gates of three Sustrans Bike It Schools. Parents and pupils at St. Bernadette’s, Moorside and Stepping Stones in Bowerham Road will now have a safe off road cycle route to school. Before the works were undertaken, this popular shortcut from Gressingham Drive to Bowerham Road was regarded by residents to be dark, muddy and unsafe.
The project carried out as part of Lancaster City Council’s Cycling Demonstration Town project also includes the conversion of the Bowerham Road footway to `shared use’ so that pedestrians and cyclists can access the schools and use the path to Barton Road more safely.
