WelwHatCycling believes there should be shared use pavements along Digswell Road to link the north of the town to the town centre. This would connect to our proposed North - South and East- West routes described in other entries.

The cycle route from WGC to Hertford is an unlit isolated former railway. Whilst an excellet ride on a sunny Sunday, it is of little use in the dark winter months for cycle commuting.
The route shown would comprise:
A new shared use pavement along Cole Green Lane / Birchall Lane from the end of the current cycle path to the A414.
A light controlled crossing of the A414 or bridge.
Signed us of the Old Coach Road to the outskirts of Hertford.
Shared use pavement plus signed routes into the centre of the town.

The east side of WGC is currently served only by the NCN61 route. In 2014 work was done on Heronswood road to add safety markings due to high incidences of accidents involving bikes. There are local concerns about cyclists using pavements to avoid busy local roads.
There should as a minimum be a route from WGC station to the new QE2 hospital, ideally directly via Woodhall shops. The other routes show other useful possible links to create a cohesive network to serve this section of town.

A long standing missing link in WHBC area cycle routes. The current Bessemer Way cycle path ends where the road becomes a busy dual carriage way. There is no off road cycling link to Welwyn village which prevents the children of the town cycling to Monks Walk School (yet it is possible for Hatfield children to get there virtually the whole way on cycle path!)

This route would use a combination of 20 mph road (Fretherne Road, Stonehills) plus upgraded crossings to create a north south route through the centre of Welwyn Garden City. It would share a common section around the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Offices and the Campus with the east west route described in another section.
The route would link NCN57 south of the town with the existing link from Campus East to Shirepark, thus enabling commuters from this business park to access the station. Going further north the link over the White Bridge would then open up the quiet residential streets of north WGC for cycling to and from the town centre. Via the east west route their would be a better connection to NCN12 avoiding the busy Parkway.

Welwyn Garden City has no off road town centre cycle routes. This east west route would link the network of cycle paths to the east of the town centre to NCN12 to the west and enable cyclists to avoid The Campus, a deceptively green gyratory which is difficult for cyclists to navigate.
It would connect with a north south route at the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council offices, encouraging staff to cycle to work. It would encourage commuters to cycle from west WGC to the station and to work places off Broadwater Road and at the Mundells.
