The policy should underline that the support for pedestrian and cycle networks will include new links between existing settlement areas, for example residents of Donnington have for many years been pressing, without success for local authority intervention to initiate provision of a direct footpath and cycle route between Donnington Village and the Stockbridge area of Donnington where the Parish/Community Hall and local; shops are located.
It should be recognised that with an ageing population there are many with impaired mobility dependent on mobility scooters and footpaths/cycleways should be suitable to enable them to get around retaining independence.
