PROPOSED new footpaths, cycleways and bus stops to link an evolving conservation project to the surrounding community will be on show during a public consultation.

Members of the public are being asked to comment on the future vision of the Great Fen Project, which aims to restore 3,700 hectares of fenland by joining Woodwalton and Holme Fen nature reserves.

The Great Fen Project draft illustrative masterplan will provide a visual and written guide for the project's future, showing how it will evolve over the coming years.

The masterplan will include information on proposed access routes to and within the project including new footpaths, cycleways, bridleways, waterways and bus stops.

It will also provide details on potential viewpoints and points of interest.

The public consultation is running until Friday, October 16, and will include a series of events for people to learn more about the project.

INFORMATION: The events are taking place at Ramsey Heights Countryside Classroom on Sunday (September 13) 11am-4pm, Woodwalton village (opposite the Elephant and Castle pub) on September 26, 2pm-4pm, Huntingdon Farmers' Market on October 2, 10am-2pm, Ramsey Community Information Centre on October 5, 1pm-7pm, and Sawtry library on October 8, 4pm-7pm.

Questionnaires are also available from libraries in Ramsey, Sawtry, Yaxley, Huntingdon and Warboys and at Hinchingbrooke Country Park and Paxton Pits Nature Reserve. See www.greatfen.org.uk for more detail.
