Path from Craighalbert to Tesco Craigmarloch
 Work
is due to start in February 2010 to create an extension of the path
from Carrickstone behind the schools to Craighalbert. Like the path
built last year it will be lit and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
compliant i.e. it will be suitable for wheelchair users and will have
benches at rest points. The clearance of brushwood and technical
surveys have already been done and the route is marked out.
The
first stage of the work will involve removing the spoil heap behind the
schools out onto the Eastfield Road which may cause initial
inconvenience due to the transport of earth etc in dumpers down the the
section of the Eastfield Road on either side of the Craighalbert
Roundabout. This spoil will be brought into the grassed area between
Craighalbert and the Craigmarloch Roundabout and used to build up
sections off the new path. This stage should be completed over the
first few weeks of the project with the end date (subject to weather)
for completion around mid April.
This
path will join up to the Zoar Road up from Croy to Tesco and will be
another link in the Core Paths through and round Cumbernauld. It will
also provide a convenient walking route into the Community Park and
enable local residents from Craigmarloch (via the underpass near the
schools) and Carrickstone to get to Tesco without crossing the
Eastfield Road. It may also be useful to the schools visiting the
Craigmarloch Neighbourhood Centre and help with their transport
strategy.
