  • Work to develop this route into a formal pathway with improved surface will commence in March 2026.
    The cleared area will be fenced off until the main works start.

Nursery path

The path adjacent to the Triangle nursery remains restricted to pedestrians only throughout the duration of Plot B2 works. A fencing chicane system has been installed to encourage cyclists to dismount and push bikes along this pathway. 

Cyclists must dismount along this path for the safety of all path users. Thank you for your support with this. 

Access to the campus from the South is unaffected.Image to show location of path alongside Triangle nursery which is restricted to pedestrians only
