The end of Carrwood Road

Carrwood Road currently stops abruptly just before it meets the cycle path through Preston Junction Nature Reserve http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/14389 . There is a path to allow pedestrians and cyclists to access the nature reserve but the road goes no further. Housing development on the old gasworks site to the west is dependent upon the construction of a new link road connecting Walton-le Dale and Penwortham by extending Carrwood Road to meet The Cawsey, a pre-existing estate road. It is proposed that the link road will pass over the nature reserve and cycle path by means of a bridge.
