In November there was the opening a new riverside path (the 'missing link') by the Meadow Lane lock between the riverside path from Victoria Embankment (under Trent Bridge) and the canal path by London Road and the Turney's Quay housing area, opposite the NFFC ground on the south bank.

 

An article about this can also be found on the Nottingham Evening Post website  at http://www.thisisthemeadows.co.uk/ and headed "£1.5mn towpath link officially opened"

 

The opening, by City Transport Portfolio Holder, Councillor, Jane Urquhart, was attended by a good crowd of cyclists, pedestrians and representatives of the City Council, British Waterways and other organisations and including two local MPs, Alan Simpson and John Heppell, which was good. Alan's speech included a reference to the closure of the Wilford Suspension Bridge and to the need for more good quality paths like this to encourage more people to walk on cycle, along the lines of the extensive system he had experience in Montreal, where his wife comes from.
