Carlton-le-Moorland and Bassingham Link

These two Lincolnshire villages are typical of so many settlements in our trafficked countryside. They are scarcely 1 mile apart and separated by a small main road. The volume of traffic and speed of vehicles between the two does however mean that walking and cycling is neither pleasurable nor safe, forcing  local residents into their cars.

All this is to be changed by making a wonderful field-edge promenade that will serve as a route for everyday journeys and a leisure resource throughout the year. 


How will the local community benefit?

Comments from the pledges:

"Long overdue.  A wonderful idea which will give us a pleasant rural pathway, for accessing services in Bassingham, but also provide a leisure facility and enable us to leave the car at home."

"Whilst visiting friends in Carlton-le-Morlands we often take walks in the surrounding countryside. This pathway would provide a safe means of walking to Bassingham" 

“This pathway would provide safe linking of sister villages eliminating the current need to transit along a busy rural road. It would have amenity value as a stimulating walk and an opportunity to see and appreciate wildlife in the countryside.”

“This is a brilliant idea.  It will make such a difference to the village.  It is long overdue and we all look forward to being able to go to Bassingham without our cars and on a safe route.”

"This is a great honour; I love the thought of becoming part of the landscape alongside Dick Wagstaff and the great Richard Burton. I'm hoping that my sculpture might be able to persuade Burton's sculpture to quote some poetry of an evening, or at least a bit of War of the Worlds." Rob Brydon
