Decision details

The Council was proposing the development of an enhanced D.H. Lawrence walking route to strengthen connectivity between key heritage assets and green infrastructure across the Borough. The proposal builds on the existing D.H. Lawrence Walk, which currently provided a circular route centred on Eastwood and incorporates several important literary and historic locations, including the Birthplace Museum, Beauvale School and Colliers Wood.

RESOLVED that the proposed D.H. Lawrence walking route be approved, with an additional budget of £5,000 being provided for this purpose to be funded from available General Fund Revenue Contingency in 2026/27.

Reason

This is in accordance with the Council’s corporate priority to protect the environment for future generations.
