A NEW cycle path has opened as part of the East Lancashire Cycleway Network project. Part of the £7.5 million scheme, the new cycle path has been installed in Haslingden, with a section running parallel to the Haslingden bypass. The one kilometre of mostly off-road cycleway links Carr Hall Street, off Hud Hey Road, to South Shore Street near Haslingden town centre. As well as this, a new section of path has also been created between Prinny Hill Road and South Shore Street through local woodland creating a new link onto the cycleway. County Councillor Keith Iddon, Lancashire County Council cabinet member for highways and transport, said: I m very pleased to see that more good progress has been made over the past year with the East Lancashire Cycleway Network, which is already providing people with better options for sustainable travel as more and more sections are completed.
