Project : Mayfield Road Link

Status : Proposal

From the Mayfield Road area (Anchorage Way, Pembroke Way, Shackleton Close, St Andrews Road estate) there is no simple way of accessing the Cinder Track using a bike. Several steep flights of steps are present, but there is a need to provide bike access.

This project would be suitable for : Walking, Cycling, Wheeling, Scooting.

Route

The markers on the map (above) highlight particular points where we have an image (below) showing the view from that position.

1

View from Mayfield Road, across to old farm track. Would require suitable crossing point for pedestrians, and also cyclists.

2

View of connection from old farm track to Anchorage Way.

3

View across greenspace where a path would be needed to go through hedge on to disused bridge.

4

Prospect Rise access bridge, providing high level access from Prospect Rise to Caedmon College footpath

5

Public footpath alongside Caedmon College, with side entrance to school

6

Public footpath, alongside private allotments, with muddy path

7

Public footpath leading to Monkey Bridge junction

8

Connection between Caedmon playing field side path, Caedmon cross path and Cinder Track at Monkey Bridge Junction

Land Ownership

Land ownership is as follows

The land off Shackleton Close, Anchorage Way is likely owned by Barratts (to check), the Prospect Hill allotments is owned by Barratts.
The bridge is owned by North Yorkshire Council.
The path alongside the school playing field is owned by Whitby School, as is the right-of-way path across the playing field.

Design

The path would be the order of 500m in length, with a width of 3m for the majority of the length.
