Broad Street Bridge

Walking & Cycling Network

Small Scale Project (£1m - £4m)

Long Eaton is a flat and compact town, well suited for cyclists and pedestrians. The Town Board would like to improve the connectivity around areas of the town. These include the bridge at Broad Street which connects West Park to the town centre. Currently the Broad Street Bridge is narrow and the ramps are steep. More importantly it doesn’t connect with the canal towpath.

West Park Waterfront

Small Scale Project (£1m - £4m)

The creation of the ‘West Park Waterfront’ alongside the Erewash Canal with the potential for quayside moorings to enable commercial boats to provide food and drink, along with decking and street furniture to allow visitors to enjoy the waterside environment.
