HOW GRIMSBY-TO-CLEETHORPES CYCLEWAY NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED - CYCLISTS SPEAK UP

Much-needed enhancement likely for Grimsby-Cleethorpes cycleway 

There has been a brisk response from cyclists on how a cycleway between Cleethorpes and Grimsby needs to be improved.

The route stretches from Clee Road at Isaac’s Hill roundabout, along Weelsby Road, up to the Fryston Corner junction and along Laceby Road to the Bradley Crossroads roundabout.

It is  a key corridor for many cyclists.

However, it is perilous because of the poor surface and recurrence of potholes.

What is more, parked cars and vans force pedallers out on to the main highway which is often busy with cars and lorries.

Some cyclists would like to see a protective kerb to define the cycleway more forcefully.

North East Lincolnshire Council and its solutions partner, Engie, will assess the responses before determining how much can be achieved with a likely grant of  £319,00 from the Department of Transport.

This is not a huge amount, so NELC may need to dip into its own funds if any meaningful difference is to be made to the cycleway.
