GUSIBOROUGH ACTIVE TRAVEL UPDATE

The Guisborough Active Travel Route forms part of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council’s broader regeneration scheme and is funded by the Government’s Regeneration Fund. The project, a joint initiative with Tees Valley Combined Authority, will connect Guisborough and Nunthorpe.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council will focus on designing a new active travel route through Guisborough Town Centre towards Nunthorpe. When completed, the fully accessible travel route will deliver a number of benefits to the local community, including:

  • A safer travel route for children to and from school
  • Better connections between Guisborough and Nunthorpe, particularly to the train station, providing better onward travel connectivity
  • Safer junctions and crossings, allowing users to feel confident along the route
  • An enhanced and better-connected cycle route
  • A financial boost to the local economy

To date, the local community has been very supportive of the project. In July of this year, we began a period of local engagement to seek the views and opinions of the local community concerning the proposed Active Travel Route.

As part of this engagement period, we hosted a special event to inform people about the proposed works and answer their questions. The response was fantastic, and we have taken the time to review the feedback and follow up on any queries about the proposed route.

Based on the responses we received, we decided to review the proposed route. The outcome has resulted in an amendment to the route, specifically a rerouting away from the Lyndale area to Stokesley Road - a decision that was informed as a direct result of our engagement process. The updated Active Travel route can be viewed below.

While the engagement period was important, the Council is determined to deliver an active travel route that works for Guisborough and can provide for its community. That is why it has opted to facilitate a consultation period in January next year.

Running from Wednesday, 8 January 2025, to Wednesday, 29 January 2025, the consultation will offer the local community the opportunity to review detailed route maps and other materials associated with the project, learn more about the project and how it will benefit them, as well as being able to provide the Council with feedback.

As part of its consultation, the Council will host two in-person events. The first will take place on Saturday, 11 January 2025, at Guisborough Walkway Visitor Centre (10am-2pm) and the second will be held at Guisborough Library on Wednesday, 15 January 2025 (12:30pm-6:30pm).

Times will be confirmed and advertised nearer the time, so please look out for this. It is hoped that as many people as possible will attend the events.
