Future of Cheshire Cycleway when Cheshire splits

Currently, the Cheshire Cycleway is signposted by Cheshire County Council's highways section. The county council also produces an outline route map, and markets the route to tourists as these visitors support local businesses and boost the local economy, especially in rural areas.

But we're not sure what will happen to this county-wide initiative when the county council and all the local councils disappear. They will re-emerge in April as just two unitary authorities (Chester & Cheshire West; Cheshire East). The councillors have already been elected, so we've asked both shadow authorities what their plans are. Chester is a new Cycling Town, and Chester/Cheshire West have appointed a cycling officer for their patch. Cheshire East is more of a mystery at this stage.

Once we have some answers, we'll post them on our Cheshire Cycleway site.
