Talk by John Grimshaw
Thu 16th Jan 2025 7.00pm Clifton Library

John will then explain how this group then went onto build the Bristol and Bath path starting with Bitton to Brassmill Lane in 1979, the creation of the riverside path to Pill, the reconstruction of the Kennet and Avon canal towpath and other local paths which are now so popular. With the advent of the Government's Community Programme schemes they were able to tackle similar projects right across the country with an eventual workforce of 800, working under the direction of the newly set up Bristol charity, Sustrans. Ten years ago he set up Greenways and Cycleroutes to concentrate on delivering local 'impossible' schemes including the missing link in Ashton Park and the Weston-super-Mare and Brean Down link over the Axe Sluices. All this work was based here in Clifton and Bristol.
