Ashton-under-Lyne and Hyde - The Peak Forest Canal
RESERVE SCHEME
There are 20 reserve schemes and it is intended that individual schemes will be called forward should any of the 79 schemes comprising the final Connect2 Project find they are unable to complete their programme.
The Connect2 project has had numerous applications for the reconstruction of canal towpaths. In the case of The Peak Forest Canal, the condition of the towpath is so bad and the links into the surrounding communities so poor that it is an excellent example of how a reconstruction together with new links, focussed on the centres of the nearby populations, will bring about a whole new idea of how to travel in the area.

Ballymoney Railway Bridge and links
This route will create a promenade from the leisure centre on the south side of town to the town centre, making use of the Riverside Park green corridor along the way. The focus of the route will be a new bridge over the railway. The real challenge is to draw the station towards the town and make the approach to the shops and the schools an attractive experience.

Banbury, Oxford Canal Links
This is an example of an expanding town that is on the opposite side of the local canal to its towpath and thus is isolated from it. The proposed bridge over the canal will not only link existing residents and new developments to the towpath which stretches out into the countryside but will also create a largely traffic free route to the station and to the town centre making connections which have been impossible up to now.

Bath, 'Two Tunnels'
The Two Tunnels Greenway is a bold proposal to create a virually flat four mile path from Bath to Midford. It will Connect2 communities in between including schools, playgrounds and parks along the route of the former S&D railway, passing through Linear way, the Devonshire tunnel, Lyncombe Vale, The Combe Down tunnel and the Tucking Mill Viaduct. Benefits will be provided to all types of people including the disabled, parents with baby buggies, ramblers and cyclists, both for commuting and leisure purposes. Two lit tunnels and the magnificent Tucking Mill Viaduct will provide an inspiring, highly practical link between town and country, with its unique blend of industrial heritage, wildlife and geology.

Bedlington and Cramlington Connection
The two towns are separated by the deep cleft cut by the River Blyth. Forging a new path through this most attractive area and crossing the river near Humford Mill Stepping Stones is the only way to overcome the obstacle of the main road between the two towns and to link the extensive Cramlington Greenway Network with the proposed east/west promenade through Bedlington.
