What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionBACKGROUND
Knutsford Town Council has secured permission from the Crown Estate to install a new active travel path linking Tabley Road to a new housing development. This project will support our aspirations to enhance active travel in Knutsford by creating a new walking and cycling link.

The path route is approximately 170m long, it will connect to Tabley Road and a footpath created on open space at the Tabley Park development .

- A post and thee rail fence is to be installed both sides of the path along the full length
