The ‘Staveley Works’ site encompasses several old industrial area and is alongside the Chesterfield Canal between Staveley, Hollingwood and Barrow Hill.

The image above is from the masterplan with our annotation on top. The spine road is planned to have a dedicated cycle route alongside which will aid commuter cyclists leaving the existing Trans Pennine Trail as a leisure route.

The planned new school being at one end of the development and adjacent to the canal is ideally placed to be designed so children can safely cycle to school.

Although not an easy solution we hope that Barrow Hill can be connected to the cycle network too.

The spine road forms part of the proposed ‘Staveley Regeneration Route’ which had an initial public consultation in Spring 2022. You can read our response here.

Cycle Chesterfield and Transition Chesterfield sent a joint proposal to the East Midlands Mayor on alternatives to the Chesterfield Staveley Regeneration Route (CSRR). These alternatives would avoid impacts to the Chesterfield Canal route and includes a number of potential cycle infrastructure upgrades in and around Staveley.
