Hayling Billy treasure hunt progress to 18 Jan ’13

We have:

Met with Peter Drury of HB50 to discuss we will work together. The meeting was very productive and we readily agreed how we would split the work between us. We also agreed some specific actions to take in the immediate future (most have been done already).

David Willetts New Year tour

While most of you were recovering from Christmas over-stuffing on Turkey, a few of us braved the weather with David Willetts, our local MP, to show him what Cycle Hayling has been up to recently.

North-South Off-Road Cycle Link – Progress Jan ’13

The option to share the Registered Riders Scheme (RRS) trail to the east of the main road (A2023) has been explored. All three landowners have been contacted and have indicated they would be happy to have cyclists sharing these paths; however all have also stated that the RRS must first accept the proposals. A Hampshire County Council officer has appraised the route and indicated that it appears feasible. To date (Jan 2013) Cycle Hayling, in spite of several requests, has yet to get the RRS to meet and discuss the proposals. We remain optimistic that we will eventually achieve a meeting with the RRS membership.

The southern part is now deemed to be Phase 2 of the project and solutions to the contentious ‘pinch point’ adjacent to My Lord’s Lane are being sought.

We’ve discussed and agreed the broad terms of the treasure hunt and sent them to Peter Drury – organiser of the Hayling Billy 50 celebrations – to see if the HB50 team has any issues and find out what scope there is to collaborate on – for example – publicity.

We have published details of the project here.
