3,705Helen Ridley we cannot cycle safely between Littlehempston and Totnes. If there was a cycle path I could get to Totnes and back independently. I don’t drive, so this would be of enormous benefit and save me worrying about how to get to appointments, collect prescriptions, get shopping etc. Aug 09, 2023

3,666John CummingsAir pollution kills tens of thousands prematurely in the UK each year, and aggravates coronavirus symptoms. We desperately need to encourage cycling and walking to reduce burden on the NHS, & reduce car use (which will also reduce climate change). Jun 26, 2020

Unfortunately I do not feel safe to do this as the roads connecting these towns have fast moving traffic and narrow sections.

As a non driver and keen cyclist I cannot imagine a life totally depending on driving to go anywhere. For the environmental impact reason all the road should have a cycle path that connects to nearing towns and beyond. I cannot believe a town like Totnes has this prob!Nov 12, 2016

3,021Tom GuhaWhat a shame that this bridge is still inaccessible, despite such strong public support.

I know many other people that would love to cycle to work but will not do so as the roads are too dangerous. I have encouraged my children from a young age to cycle and they love it. This route would enable my children to cycle the area frSep 16, 2015
2,783Natasha JohnsThis would be so beneficial for the area, linking the South Hams to Teignbridge and also providing a valuable missing link in the National Cycle Network. The distance between Newton abbot and Totnes is relatively short but hazardous roads mean that more people chose to avoid cycling in this area. This is a great shame.

2,746Jonathan GalePlease complete the cycle network so it goes through Totnes, my whole family wants this. We have to put the bikes on the car and drive to places to cycle - how silly is that!Jul 23, 2015
2,745John FletcherI agree with the route but also there should be a cycle lane from Paiton to Totnes as this road is very dangerous, and would get more people commuting to work and for leisure increasing tourismJul 23, 2015
2,744Malcolm PembertonI used to live in western Finland, where the benefits of good cycle routes, to both motor traffic reduction and improved health, are recognised and constantly improved. Cycling in Devon is quite a challenge in comparison, but I pedal on and look forward to any improvements such as this one.Jul 23, 2015

As a resident who has immigrated here from The Netherlands and previously New Zealand I can't begin to explain how important this is for the region and for England. Besides being a boon to the growing local cycling community it would also be an incredible boon to tourism in the region. Other countries experience of cycleways have Jul 22, 2015

It is vital that Totnes is not bypassed as part of this process given its beauty and historic interest as a town. The link to the mainline railway is also very important. Jan 29, 2015

2,150Paul De'AtheI have as good a geography of this area as well as any outsider having spent some four years at weekends once a month studying at the Devon School of Shiatsu in Littlehempston, and having to navigate some of the the lanes in this area by car. I might have preferred to use a cycle (and train) had I thought I could have done so with a greater degree of safety. As a cyclist I am keen to take advantagJan 28, 2015

2,132Martin PhillipsI used to live in Callington Cornwall,and did a lot of cycling in Devon and Cornwall.

To be less hilly than other routes would enable the less fit to get on their bikes and so improve fitness. To reach Totnes may encourage some who work there to arrive by bike and thus less congestion for the town. The possibility of a trip to Ashburton on the raJan 28, 2015

2,057Anthony GilbertI feel it is important to consider all viable options for any planned cycle ways. Sustrans are in the business of knowing how cycle routes work. The benefits of their proposal are far reaching. Overall costs vs headline price vs benefits in these proposals can be qualitative and quantitative, and both measures should be extended to subjects such as infrastructure, health, environmental and communJan 28, 2015

After 4 years we have just finished about 1/4 of the 2 mile route. To fit within physical constraints we are planning for 1.5m wide bridges and tunnel. Although this will be an extension to well used NCN24 we are confident there should be no undue pedestrian/cyclistJan 11, 2015
1,911George WeeksCycling needs to be treated as a mainstream mode of transport, accessible to ages 8-80. Routes should be: *Direct *Attractive *Continuous *Safe *Accessible Please make sure that the Littlehempston - Totnes route meets all of these requirements.

1,877Richard WattsTo The Devon County Council, Please do not take the easy way out. Be sensible give the people, yes the people who you represent the chance to use the route that they wish for. The route you support will end in a route that no one uses. Don't continue to waste money on a project that no one wants.

1,617Elspeth Crichton StuartTotnes, off all places, with its commitment to sustainable living should have safe cycle routes linking them to as many other communities as possible. I was surprised, moving from Scotland, how few safe routes there are for a place that usually puts its money where its mouth is. I would use any cycle routes that are created and find I am limited at the moment. I would prefer NOT to use my car and Dec 05, 2014

1,568Cairn HurstIncreasing numbers of cyclists on the road are making roads more dangerous, for cyclists as well as drivers. I'm a cyclist myself, on and off-road, and believe an active lifestyle should be encouraged. Cycling is a great way to go about it.

I cycle these days circa 8000miles per annum - mainly in Scotland, but in Devon when visiting relatives. The A831 is far from cycle friendly - narrow, twisty, tight, fast, heavy traffic.

1,165Neil TullySafe and easy access to the countryside and rural settlements has become increasingly difficult for walkers and cyclists over the last 40 years or so, and most rural distributor routes around Totnes are dominated by vehicles.

1,066Laurence PettittIt would be brilliant if there were a safe route for walkers and cyclists to Littlehempston because I think it would bring business the the little town (especially the pub). I believe there is now reason why this cycle path shouldn't be built considering how much money has already been spent building the bridge over the river dart that makes this cycle path possible.

People have been killed on this road. A cycle path would give safe access for all, including older citizens and children; something which does not exist at the moment.

It is not possible from Boughton Lane to reach the footpath leading down to the Hems above Chateau Bellevue by passing over the fields behind the old council tip. The only access is up the A381 from Totnes, which is dangerous. A path along the river valley is thMay 24, 2012

549James BarrettThe are few enough cycle paths around Totnes, and this path would give us the opportunity to cycle safely with our three children in the local area. With the government promoting the encouragement of zero emissions transport, and healthier lifestyles we feel this is exactly the sort of initiative that the local council should be supporting.

543Lesley WilkinsonWhen we've cycled into Totnes from Newton Abbot along the main road, we have been amazed at the number of cars that try to overtake us on the blind bends - and on a few occasions they have driven on the wrong side of the road to overtake us at the bends. The car drivers appear to not expect cyclists on the road and therefore it is a very dangerous stretch of road and I will welcome a cycle laMar 30, 2012

541Thomas HutchinsonDear Sir/Madam, I firmly support the view that there should be a safe cycle and walking route between Littlehempston and Totnes, allowing people accessing Totnes from the villages to the north to avoid the dangerous A381 Newton Abbot road. This would have numerous benefits for the local community in terms of improving options for traveling to travel to work and for recreation. Clearly, the rouMar 30, 2012

537Peter StilwellThis route to littlehemston is an ancient road and I would love to see it re-opened as a beautiful cycle path. I would expect that it will bring more custom to the steam railway and the rare breeds farm as they'll be more footfall, and perhaps it will get a few more country walkers in the pig and whistle.

515Angela and Nobby CleggThis proposal would made an enormous difference to walking safely in the area between Bridgetown and the Station/River Dart paths. The speed and volume of traffic on the Newton Abbot road precludes many circular routes or safe direct access into town. Surely we should be encouraging cycling and walking rather than encouraging car use. We would definitely use the proposed route. Mar 29, 2012

297Jenny QuickTotnes is renowned for pioneering a return to more sane and sustainable ways of living.... this surely includes reducing our carbon footprint by facilitating cycling as a mode of transport, let alone reducing long term costs of health related issues.... research shows the benefits of regular exercise etc. That this path is provoking such controversy is a poor example of short sightedness and so coMar 27, 2012
296Jonathan CrinionThis cycle path is so important for the residents of Littlehempston. The Cycle path is also about a sustainable future for our children and the ability to walk or cycle between Totnes and Littlehempston. It is, I believe, a positive political statement indicating that we are concerned citizens in our pursuit of sustainable alternatives to CO2 emitting vehicles. Mar 27, 2012

150 John ForteListen up Rare Breeds. Over 600 petitions in favour of the cycle path. That's a lot of goodwill you're losing never mind potential customers. Come on. Drag yourself into the 21st century. U-turns are all the rage. Support the cycle path and watch the support for your business flood in.Mar 22, 2011
149 Jonny ScottIf ever there was an issue which was no brainer, this is surely it. Cycle paths increase the number of people using bicycles for leisure and commuting. In turn, they reduce carbon emissions, increase health and fitness, reduce road collisions, increase tourism - the list of benefits goes on and on. The Littlehemston - Totnes cycle path will benefit the whole community and I look forward to enjoyiMar 20, 2011
148 Simon OldridgeAs a newcomer to this area, I feel proud to see Totnes building on its reputation as a centre of progressive thinking on sustainability. This reputation encourages people to visit the area, which is both good for business, and is also hopefully beneficial in spreading environmental awareness to other towns. However, it seems to me that the thinking is in danger of running too far ahead of real aMar 18, 2011
147 Dr Andrew FranklandImproving dedicated cycle path access to anywhere in the area has got to benefit the health and welfare of the community. I am a regular leisure cyclist and wholeheartedly support improved access to the Littlehempston area. Having cycled on the main road to Littlehempston and Bourton Lane a number of times the merits of a direct link to Totnes from Littlehempston are obvious. The link with the NCNMar 17, 2011
146 Peter BentlyThe cyclepath linking L'hempston and Totnes is an excellent idea and I look forward to the proposal being made a reality soon. The more that can be done to link the towns with the surrounding villages by routes that are safe for both cyclists and walkers the better. However, the concerns of the steam railway and the Rare Breeds Farm do need to be sympathetically addressed. It is not a question Mar 16, 2011
145 Trudy TurrellI look forward to being able to cycle this route traffic free. when you see how many people use the Dartington cycle path and enjoy both a recreational route and a safe route to school, work or shop, it shows how much such local paths are used and appreciated Mar 15, 2011
144 Pia MartinusI cycle both for leisure and work, on my own and with my daughter. I very much look forward to using the route connecting to littlehempston. this will help me also in my work as do most of my home visits by bicycle. Mar 15, 2011
143 Johnny GowdyWell done for keeping up the pressure. It has already been delayed for too long. There must be a solution for the security issues for the railway and rare breeds farm if people are prepared to compromise. I wish that the railway in particular would sem the positive benefits of a rail/cycle link. Other steam railways actively promote cyclists and put on a cycle freight car. Mar 15, 2011
142 The Scott familyWe live in Broadhempston and would definitely cycle more regularly into Totnes if this safer route were created. It can only bring good things, surely; less car use, healthier people, increased green tourism to the area. And probably increased business for the railway and Rare Breeds Centre too I would have thought! Thank you for pushing for this hugely important public resource, I look forward tMar 15, 2011
141 Jon MorrisThe proposed cycle track will finally give the villagers of Littlehempston, Broadhempston and other outlying parishes a real alternative to the frankly suicidal option of cycling on the busy A381. School children, local workers and commuters would finally have a safe and easy cycle route into Totnes taking the strain of the already clogged roads into town. Totnes residents would gain a new recreMar 15, 2011
140 Kate LegumNo one seems to object to the idea of having a path but the route needs to be agreed by as many people as possible. Lets get together and look at any issues raised by those affected by the path and see how they can be addressed. Mar 15, 2011
139 Margot CooperLiving in Littlehempston I am aware how urgently needed this path is. I used to worry about my son cycling on the main road, it's treacherous. I lend my support to everyone fighting this cause. Mar 15, 2011

137 Frances MayI am so excited about this cycle path. I would love to cycle but am really wobbly on a bike. This cycle past would give me a chance to go somewhere to get confidence in cycling before facing roads. Also vital link for getting to Littlehempston. I cannot drive and so it would give great acccess to beautiful parts of South Hams to walk in as well. Mar 15, 2011
136 Caroline DoughtyHaving cycled the Totnes to Dartington path many times with my children I would now dearly love to be able to go a little farther! A cycle path to Littlehempston makes sense on so many levels - not least to allow people to cycle safely to work and reduce the traffic congestion and parking nightmares in Totnes. But it would also allow people in Totnes to cycle out of town safely, just for fun. I wMar 15, 2011
135 Paul AdamsI just wanted to email you to to express support for development of the Littlehempston cyclepath. As a "Bikeability" cycle instructor living in Marldon, I regularly cycle to Totnes - Newton Abbot - Torbay to run cycling courses in junior schools. A Littlehempston cycleroute would be of major benefit to me. I have been hit more than once on the A381, A385 and B road (linking Totnes, BerFeb 09, 2011

126 Mr Andrew PetersI've been walking the route for 8 years and my crazy son even took his scooter down it. I agree with Cllr Alan Gorman - it IS an existing route - Two old green lanes to Staverton and Littlehempston. Route One - As James Bellchambers describes above, it goes from North Ford, Totnes.

121 John CrispA fantastic idea. We're not exactly blessed with safe cycling routes in teignbridge and south hams. As a former resident of Broadhempston it would have been a joy to cycle into totnes without resorting to busy and dangerous main roads. The route would be wonderful for tourism. As the first transition town, it seems logical that totnes should have alternative means of transport to its environs. TheDec 20, 2010

116 Keith ClementsThis cycle path ie essential! It will be used by many who are currently using cars to commute to or from Totnes/Newton Abbot and will thus reduce the amount of traffic on the Totnes - Newton Abbot road.

104 Ian BlackwellThe cycle path would be fantastic, opening up the lanes out towards the neighbouring villages. It would mean Totnes people would be exploring villages, spending money in post offices, shops, cafes and pubs, and the cycle path would encourage a whole lot of people from Broadhempston, Littlehempston, Ipplepen and wider afield would come into Totnes to support our traders... and it would mean fewer cDec 13, 2010

This meant essentially taking my life into my hands every morning and evening on the Newton Abbott road, and invariably arriving with tales of woe about motorists nearly causing me a serious injury. A cycle path would make a difference to a huge number of people, and I really hope thaNov 10, 2010
40 Dave HamiltonHaving moved from Bristol, a city that seems to take its cycling seriously, I miss not having decent off-road links to where I need to go. If anything it is more vital to have links such as this in the countryside than it is in the city. I pledge my full support for this cycle path - Let's make it happen! Nov 10, 2010
39 Phil Dixon (Hot Pursuit cycles)All of us at the shop have wished to show support for this route from the beginning. As keen cyclists ourselves we all know the risks and intimidation of trying to cycle on the roads around Totnes. Another route to Totnes which is safe to cycle would be a huge asset. We are aware of the growing number of commuter cyclists in the area, as well as the draw Totnes has for tourists wishing to explore Nov 05, 2010
38 Ali TaylorWell done on organising such an impressive web site. We moved to Littlehempston this summer and were surprised to find that it wasn't possible to cycle into Totnes. I did have a crack at cycling over Bourton Lane, but coming back with 2 panniers of shopping was hard going and not something I've tried again. Also had a go at cycling on the A381, but I'm not brave (or foolhardy) enough to go all thNov 04, 2010

35 Iso BarndenCompletion of this leg of the cycle path makes so much sense, not only to residents of Littlehempston and environs who deserve joined-up local and environmentally friendly transport routes, but to longer-distance cyclists and economy-boosting holiday visitors to Totnes. I hope that the old logjam of resistance will finally be freed by this positive campaign. Nov 01, 2010
34 Mrs Alix RileyI do hope this cycle path can be built soon. Living in Totnes, it is really important to us to be able to cycle out to nearby villages. We can cycle to Ashprington and to Dartington, but this path would open up cycling on the other bank of the river. The main roads are much too busy to cycle on now.Nov 01, 2010
33 Dr. Elaine SeymourI visit my family in Little Hempston several times a year and always blanche when I encounter a cyclist on the highly dangerous A381 to Totnes. I enjoy visiting the South Devon Railway and Rare Beeds Farm with my grand daughters. They are very nice people, and I imagine they would find it hard to forgive themselves if a cyclist were injured or killed on that road. Come on fellers; win the thanksOct 31, 2010
32 Neil MayaIn my opinion cycling along main roads in Devon is an extremely dangerous activity and the Totnes to Newton Abbot Road is a really good example of this. I love cycling and so do my children and there are still so few safe routes around Totnes. I really hope a way through this can be found to avoid future cycling casualties. Neil Maya Oct 30, 2010

28 Cllr Dennis SmithThe completion of the cycle network is something that can only be of benefit to the local community and has my complete support. For those who leisure ride and those who commute cycling along the A381 is no longer an option given the speed of traffic flow. Along with others I fail to see why this cannot go ahead, the perceived vandalism is surely just a lame excuse. If vandals were going to crossOct 29, 2010

23 Adam DadebyI look forward to this cycle route. Littlehempston is such a short distance from Totnes (nice and level too); it is a no-brainer for an official cycle route. It will benefit Littlehempston, as cycling to town should be easier and quicker than driving for many people. That should mean fewer car journeys and less noise. Oct 28, 2010
22 Peter SmithThis cycle link is "a no brainer" to anyone who knows the area. So many excellent reasons for it so I can't think why it isn't happening. The infrastructure is all there bar a very short strip along the South Devon Railway Station and Rare Breeds Farm. Please get this done - it will have benefits for everyone!Oct 28, 2010
21 Chris BirdGreat site and worthy cause. Let's have a cycle-path before we have a tragedy! Oct 28, 2010

19 James RiseberoI'm a frequent user of the bike path between Totnes and Dartington and take my son on a tag-along to school. The path is so well used for the school run. It's such a pleasure to see so many kids and parents riding. I have no doubt that the Littlehempston extension would be equally as popular. Please, let's make this happen soon. James Risebero Oct 27, 2010
18 Gary Streeter MPI support this project and look forward to the cycle path coming our way anytime soon Let me know if I can help. Oct 25, 2010
17 SandraGreat to see such an appealing, easy to use website supporting the cycle path! It makes such sense to open up this path and gain safe access to Totnes - surely there's no real risk of vandalism if the bridge were only open for the same number of hours as it is now? A cycle route for daytime use would be a start. Oct 22, 2010
16 Ben Bradshaw MPA fully inter-connected cyclepath network in Devon is important for all of us, and I fully support your efforts to make this happen in your own corner of our fantastic county. We've made massive strides in Exeter as one of the Cycling Demonstration towns, with a proper cycle network leading to a massive increase in cycling, despite the hills! I look forward to the day I can cycle from Exeter to ToOct 22, 2010
15 Gordon HookThis cycleway is not simply an optional add on, it's a vital alternative transport link between Totnes and ultimately Newton Abbot and onwards to Teignmouth. It is an economic and environmental necessity and has my 100% unequivical support as has your excellent campaign. Gordon Hook Devon County Cllr. Newton Abbot South and Chair DCC Environment, Economy and Culture Committee. Oct 21, 2010
14 Steve CasemoreWhy are we not getting this cycle-way faster. Why oh why won't South Devon Railway just allow the cyclists along the bridge, and why oh why are they acting in such a selfish manner. Come on Guys share it out for the health and social wealth of our community. Oct 21, 2010

10 SarahGreat to see the blogsite up and running. Now the french multinational called South West Water has made a mint asset stripping its land around Littlehempston, maybe it could put a little bit back into the local community? It's massive auction in Sept 2010 gained it a stunning profit on land brought with water rate payers money. Maybe SWW could be persuaded to allow the people who live here in LOct 17, 2010
9 Peter TaylorAs a local resident in Totnes and also a volunteer ranger for Sustrans. I strongly support your campaign. My son has a friend in Littlehempston, whom is cannot safely cycle to despite being a keen cyclist. The benefits of this route outweigh any perceived disadvantage. Let's hope we can make this happen Pete in Totnes Oct 17, 2010
8 Josephine AshThis path is an absolute necessity. Every village should have access to walk/cycle to it's nearest town. Well done with the website it looks great. Lets keep up the pressure and get this path built. Josephine Oct 17, 2010

4 Rob Hopkins: TransitOn behalf of Transition Town Totnes, I would like to also pledge our support for this cyclepath initiative. As a keen cyclist myself I am very supportive of maximising the opportunities in the area for cycling off road. I'm sure many more people would cycle if the opportunity was available and didn't mean taking to rather perilous roads, and this means new infrastructure such as this. We wish tOct 14, 2010
3 Jonathan MasonI would just like to add my voice to this campaign as a recent convert to the joys of getting on a bike (as opposed to the misery of sitting in a tin can, missing the astonishing views and countryside and ruining the environment!). I will forward this link to as many people with the good sense to have a bike as I can. Let's make this happen! Oct 14, 2010
2 County Councillor Paula Black says:The people in and around Totnes and Littlehempston desperately need this route to go ahead, and to do so with speed. Why should the residents and visitors be denied a safe cycle-way to link our communities, it would bring green-tourism, health and social benefits for so many. Lets us move this forward in a positive manner. Oct 13, 2010
1 Sarah Wollaston MPCongratulations. I hope as many people as possible sign up to support this vital link between Littlehempston and Totnes. It would be a shame and a wasted opportunity for NCN2 to bypass Transition Town Totnes. Oct 08, 2010
