Are there any plans for a cycle route between Littleport and Ely? I notice that you can no cycle safely all the way to Sutton from Ely but there is nothing north of the city. Littleport is closer to Ely than Sutton and is also more populated, a safe mixed use path would greatly improve the links between the two and I believe it would encourage more people to cycle to Ely. At the moment we can brave three different routes (A10, Branch Bank and Ely/Lynn Rd) neither of which are particularly safe for cyclists particularly for children. As a runner I often run along the river to Ely and come back along the old A10, it would be much better if a dedicated route/path could be created to serve those not driving. Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated.

We’d certainly support the creation of a route between Ely and Littleport, one option is mapped out on our proposed network
We asked the county about it on Twitter and have had this response.
@ElyCycle We want to extend/ create new cycle paths in East Cambs. No immediate plans for LP but new development may bring opportunities
