Diversion

With the ongoing 1 billion pound regeneration of the town centre, the Trans Pennine Trail route along the A560 Chestergate and through the town is subject to a diversion between NCN62 and M60 Junction 1 and Tiviot Dale. Signs are in place to guide Trans Pennine Trail users along the diversion.

The diversion is made up of the riverside path between NCN62 and Heaton Lane. We've cut back the vegetation along the riverside path to make sure it's suitable for increased use.
