What this consultation is about
This survey has been put together to collect your views on the Active Travel Masterplans being drawn up for the Hope Valley.
We're committed to making travel more active, by including walking, cycling or using a scooter, mobility scooter or wheelchair more convenient and more appealing to a wider range of people in the Hope Valley area. The benefits of introducing active travel will be reduced traffic congestion, improved road safety and better connectivity, also helping to support the local visitor economy and provide residents with opportunities to get out and about to benefit their health and wellbeing.
It is acknowledged that a variety of needs and abilities need to be catered for therefore your views on the masterplans are important to us. By completing this survey your interest and views will be logged and taken into consideration when drawing up the finished masterplans.
We will then use these as a tool to plan changes that can be considered in the future in terms of accessing more funding when necessary.
Results from this survey will help to inform how the next step in planning could proceed, and any future proposed changes would require a further formal consultation following successful funding.
In addition to the online survey there are some drop-in sessions being held as part of the consultation. These are at the following locations from 1pm to 7pm:
- Hathersage Memorial Hall, Oddfellows Road, Hathersage, S32 1DU – Thursday, 17 July 2025
- Bradwell War Memorial Hall, Netherside, Bradwell, S33 9JL – Tuesday, 12 August 2025
Paper copies of the survey are also available at Buxton, Tideswell and Bakewell libraries as well as at our mobile library bus. Visit our libraries page for site details and opening times.
