For many people in Shipley, Cotmanhay, Ilkeston, Kirk Hallam, Ilkeston, Sandiacre, Stapleford and Long Eaton, the Nutbrook Trail and Erewash Canal cycle routes are key commuter lifelines – away from the roads. However, for a year, a key connection in need of an upgrade is the very link between the Nutbrook Trail and the Erewash Canal, through […]
