New walking and cycling route along River Tame Way

Overview

Following the consultation carried out earlier this year, Birmingham City Council had to revise the proposals for the new cycling and walking path from Hamstead Park to Woodend in line with further discussions with the Environment Agency.

This revised route will move the new path as much as possible away from the floodplain as previously proposed. The new path is proposed to run along the top of the embankment which is on the west side of the river. This revised route proposal will not be effected by any future Environment Agency work or maintenance operations.

We would like to hear your views on these revised proposals. Please complete this online survey and have your say.

These proposals form part of the Birmingham Cycle Revolution (BCR) project which is developing a network of routes through green open spaces and along canal towpaths. The project is also developing route on main roads, quieter back street roads, 20mph speed limit areas and other supporting measures including cycle parking.

The project is jointly funded by Birmingham City Council and The Goverment's Cycle City Ambition Grant. As well as building routes like this, the project is working with schools, workplaces and at leisure centres to get more people cycling. There are many ways you can get involved!
