GREENWAY LINK
The East Northamptonshire Greenway is a series of shared use paths linking Rushden, Higham Ferrers and Irthlingborough, via either traffic free or low traffic routes. It is proposed to connect the Greenway to High Hayden Garden Community.
CYCLING, WALKING & PUBLIC TRANSPORT
High Hayden Garden Community is designed to maximise access to existing local facilities, services and employment sites in Rushden and Higham Ferrers, via pedestrian and cycle connections. A network of pedestrian and cycle friendly green links will create a safe network, accessible to all users.
Sustainable transport will be promoted and encouraged. The development is designed to cater for buses, enabling the extension of existing public transport routes. Bus stops will be located in accessible locations, close to key facilities and residential development.
