Elie, St Monans and Pittenweem have their say on active travel paths linking communities

18th March 2021

A consultation on shared use paths linking communities from Earlsferry to Pittenweem opens today. It’s an opportunity for everyone in those communities to have their say on the project proposals to improve links for walking, cycling and wheeling. The consultation takes around four or five minutes and can be done easily on a smart phone.

Local charity East Neuk Community Action Plan is the organisation that initiated the project. Chair Edward Baxter said: “We want to hear from local people what their concerns are around walking and cycling, for example with kids or wheeling a buggy. Responding to this consultation will help shape the sort of high quality, safe and direct path that could be built to link our communities.”

Sustrans Infrastructure Officer Chris Coldwell said: “We are delighted to support this project and encourage locals and those who regularly visit the area on foot or by bike to use the consultation to give their views. Community engagement is a key part of all our projects and we cannot wait to see the ideas that the community come up with.”

East Neuk Community Action Plan has been awarded a further £31,000 through Sustrans Scotland’s Places for Everyone programme, which is funded by Transport Scotland, to develop a feasibility study for a traffic free path route. Consultant Crispin Hayes said: “We’re really pleased to be working with ENCAP on this locally important project. We will be feeding back to the community soon after the consultation closes in a fortnight – so you will be able to see what everyone said.”

This is the future! A 3700 mile bike trail from Washington D.C. to Washington State.
