Lady Lane in Blunsdon is to be closed to cars and become a country route for
walkers and cyclists.
The closure applies to a 75- metre stretch from Tadpole Lane in the north to
Thamesdown Drive in the south.
It is hoped the route will become as popular as the former railway line in
Old Town which runs along the top of the Front Garden.
Councillor Doreen Dart (Blunsdon Con) gave her support to the plan
and brought messages of support from ward councillors Justin Tomlinson
and Peter Stoddart. (Abbey Meads, Con)
She said: "It has always been a lane not a road and now it is beautiful
because it has been allowed to grow."
The track will act as a route to one of the planned primary schools in the
northern sector and will link homes in St Andrew's Ridge and Groundwell.
