Improving Access

Since lockdown started I have been able to take in more of our local scenery in the hours walk. Accompanied by my daughter on her trike we have successfully toured most of the local walking routes with only the occasional puncture causing us problems.  One issue we did have was on the Route into Valefield from Glenriddet Avenue in Kilbirnie where the change in height require either to climb a rough set of stairs or a steep gravel path which is a bit of a struggle for the buggy. I contacted the Councils Active Travel officer who informed me that they are in the process of applying to Sustrans, the charity who look after the cycle path, for funding to upgrade the link and make it more accessible. 30/7/20
