Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Bottesford Beck Linear Park Bridleway project is situated on the southern edge of Scunthorpe. The project was awarded £74,000 to create approximately 3.3 km of new bridleway running alongside Bottesford Beck and 1.5 km of new footpath circling the lake in the newly designated Ashbyville Local Nature Reserve. The project was delivered by a close partnership between North Lincolnshire Council and Friends of the Beck action group. Friends of the Beck are a strongly motivated volunteer group who work closely with the Council and Environment Agency to improve the environment around Bottesford Beck including cleaning out the riverbed, planting bulbs, clearing litter and developing flood protection through the building of rain gardens and ponds. Better public access to the Beck and its green space has been a long term goal of the Friends whose members have worked tirelessly to make the project happen. The new bridleway will form a link in the newly developed Ironstone Way long distance footpath and is a strategic addition to the Rights of Way network in Scunthorpe. Already it is becoming well used by walkers, riders and cyclists wishing to enjoy the tranquillity of this newly accessible green space on the edge of the town. This is a triumphant result for the hard work of the Friends of the Beck whose vision was to create Bottesford Beck Linear Park with the new Right of Way as its centrepiece.
