The council finally agreed to extend the footpath up to Wayman's Pits. I am incredibly relieved that our neighbors will now have a safe way to reach these trails without dodging traffic. Thank you for pushing for this change alongside me.

We, the undersigned petition Haddenham Parish Council to extend the footpath from the bottom of station road, up the ramp to Wayman’s Pits.
The footpath/cycle path would provide a safe walkway for the villagers to Wayman’s Pits as well as to the Steam Engine Rally, the houses at the top of the hill and to the industrial estate. It would also enable walkers/runners and cyclists safer access to Grunty Fen (a much less busy road) and access to the cycle path to Ely from Witchford.
With more and more development to the village, green recreation space is even more important and the addition of a path would open up access to Wayman’s pits so that it could be enjoyed by the whole village.

I spent the afternoon walking that stretch of road and it is clearer than ever that we need this safe path for our families. I am currently gathering the paperwork to present our case to the Parish Council at their next meeting. Hearing your personal stories about why this access matters keeps me focused on getting this done.

Seeing so many of you connect with this goal confirms that I am not the only one worried about our safety near these busy roads. Watching this momentum build gives me real hope that my children will finally have a safe way to reach the pits.

I would love to see all residential areas of the village equal, so don't see why people living in the end of this road have to put up with no safe way to reach the centre of the village. Pavement and Street lighting should be the basics and if it makes green areas available to more people the better.
I live on this stretch of road. I cannot safely walk into the village at any point in the day due to the high volume of traffic and speed at which the traffic travels.
I regularly run along that stretch but as the grass verge is so bumpy I have to run in the road - extending the pavement would be much safer.
I regularly use the old railway line to walk to Sutton or over North Hill. I know people from Sutton walk that way to Haddenham to use businesses here like the Gallery and the Butchers, it qouls be fantastic if there was a safe footpath to access this route.
With a footpath the Parish Council can open Waymans Pits to the public and it would provide a safe route to the Steam Rally without taking the car.
As a visitor to the village recently I walked along this section of road to get to Wayman's pit. A footpath would have made it a lot safer
An extension to this footpath is paramount to the safety and wellbeing of the public living/visiting in the area.

Totally agree it should be cycle & footpath to keep everyone safe, especially when traffic is sometimes diverted off the A142.
