Leicestershire footpath and cycle path links through Watermead Country Park

The Connect2 Bid has been successful - thank you for your support

Watermead Country Park’s Connect2 scheme is one of 79 similar schemes nationally that worked together to bid for the £50 Million prize in the National Lottery’s ‘Living Landmarks: The People’s Millions’ competition, where the public voted to decide who got the money.

Connect2 Project Update

Work is set to start over the summer. The first work to get underway will be:

A new hard surfaced path which is currently a grass route, between Johnson’s bridge and Thurmaston Lock Bridge.

Also to be completed this summer:

A crossing over a ditch north of King Lear’s Lake.

Work on the bridge at Thurmaston Lock is expected to start in winter 2008-09.
