Details & photographs
Existing seating on footpath near Claphamwood. New development in this area should provide an extended path network.
Hawk Drive footpath. Provides an attractive link to Clapham. An all-weather, wider surface will make it useful to a wider range of path users.
Unbridged ford at start of Bridleway to Bromham. A new bridge here would create a link between Bromham and Clapham
Brickhill shared use cycletrack provides a useful facility for pedestrians and child cyclists. A better crossing at Manton Lane is needed.
