Cycle North Cheshire is pleased to note the Frodsham Neighbourhood Plan has now been formally ‘made’. In the referendum held on 14th November 2024, 79.4% of those who voted said ‘yes’ to the plan. Rather than being just another guidance document, the Neighbourhood Plan is a statutory planning document, as it is the first point of reference for any local planning applications within the parish boundary.
Active travel themes are embedded within the Plan, and it references ‘A Cycle Strategy for Frodsham’, a document produced by Cycle North Cheshire specifically to support the Plan. The Plan identifies three priorities for active travel infrastructure:
- ‘Safe routes to primary schools and all areas of Frodsham to join the A56 cycleway to Helsby High school.’
- ‘A safe and easy route from Frodsham to Delamere.’
- ‘A safe route along the CWaC LCWIP design line from the Chester Greenway through Frodsham to connect with the Runcorn Cycle network, Halton and The Heath.’
The Plan aligns closely with Cycle North Cheshire’s objectives, and we look forward to seeing it implemented in the coming years.
