🚴♂️🌊 Spotlight on Penarth’s Puzzling Pathway! 🌊🚶
The cycleway and footpath at Penarth Heights, the charming seaside town, are now under the magnifying glass! Vale of Glamorgan Council has launched an investigation into the path that connects the Penarth Heights estate with Terra Nova Way. But why?
Rumour has it, the path might not have been built exactly as planned. Crest Nicholson, the developer behind the estate, assures us that the paths have been open since 2014 and were constructed in line with approved designs. They’re eager to assist the council in clearing up any misunderstandings.
Flashback to 2007: Crest Nicholson submitted their grand vision of 377 homes at Penarth Heights, earning approval by 2010, and welcoming residents a year later. By 2012, plans for public infrastructure, including the cycleway and footpath, were on the table and given the green light.
Yet, what’s causing this re-evaluation? Initial council assessments deemed the design safe and accessible despite some steep slopes, and even considered future lighting an added bonus, not a necessity. Nowadays, the path does feature lights, but concerns arise with weeds creeping onto the tarmac and railings that appear worse for wear.
What lies ahead for this well-used pathway? A mystery for now, but Crest Nicholson and the council seem committed to ensuring a smooth ride for everyone. 🏡✨
