Little Melton Parish Council

Cycle Path Campaign - Survey

There is an existing cycle route from Hethersett to the Thickthorn roundabout but this requires cyclists to do 2 sides of the triangle in order to get to the Research Park.   It is also too close to a fast road to be safely used at night.  The PC would like to see a direct route that puts the NRP within a 15 minute cycle ride from Hethersett.  The PC needs evidence that such a route will be used and would like to see as many people as possible complete  the survey below.    We would like you to take part in the survey if -

  • You regularly travel to a place of work or education in Hethersett, Little Melton or in the Hospital, UEA, Research Park area.    Please complete the survey even if you don't live in Hethersett or Little Melton.

Please click here to open the survey    (The survey is held on Toadwatch website because the PC website does not have the facilities to host a survey)

Survey results up to end of September 2009

Over 100 people have responded to the survey and some clear patterns are emerging.  The map below shows the typical journeys that people would like to cycle from Little Melton, Hethersett and Wymondham - the full table of survey responses is here .  

Click here to see some of the comments that people have made - the comments strongly support our campaign and show that people feel very strongly about this.    Virtually everyone gave 'Too Dangerous' as the reason that they don't cycle - most people currently use a car as the sole occupant.
