Background
Work has finished on the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) phase 2 project and the path is now open.
The scheme consists of an improved all weather surface using Flexipave which would benefit people walking, cycling, using mobility scooters, wheelchairs etc.
The old A frame barriers on Star Lane have been replaced by new access controls similar to those provided on Whitbarrow Road. These will be more in keeping with the requirements of the Equality Act.
New benches have also been provided and access to and from Statham Avenue and Albany Road has been improved.
The scheme was part funded by a grant from Sustrans. We will continue to seek funding for other key parts of the TPT in Warrington.
