This is the network  of footpaths and green spaces linking our facilities and parks in a way that enables residents and visitors to navigate safely across and within The Deepings on foot, by cycle, with a buggy, by wheelchair, or mobility scooter.  All new paths on the Green Network will avoid steps, bare earth and gravel surfaces. Our standard is for pathways to be 'safe, accessible, attractive and rationally linked.'

Any proposed new developent on land identified on the Green Network route will include accessible footpaths and cycle routes that link rationally with existing walk ways.  Planning applications are being assessed in accordance with the new criteria.  

Benchmarking focuses on marking specific locations with benches and other forms of public seating. New seating areas will provide places for resting and for communicating with other users. 

Wayfinding will be supported  by establishing designating areas for community use and installing additional information points and signposts at specific locations across the Green inner Network and Green outer Circuit.
