The National Cycle Network through Devon is being altered to make it more accessible for those with disabilities and mobility issues.

Devon County Council, with support from SUSTRANS are now assessing all the routes through the county as part of the National Cycle Network, with the aim of removing gates and barriers and replacing them with a mixture of signs, painted markings and bollards. By doing this, there will be enough space for users of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, buggies and prams, among other mobility aids to pass through the network without issue. The older barriers, many of which are in need of replacement, will be looked at and assessed to determine if they are needed along the route.

The changes to the path follow the latest guidance from the Department of Transport.
