The Deepings Green Walk

We are seeking new ways to develop The Deepings environment for the benefit of the local community.

The Deepings Green Walk is the working title for an ambitious new project arising from the Neighbourhood Planning process. It provides a vision for the future of The Deepings and builds on the considerable amount of work previously undertaken in this area. The primary purpose of the Deepings Green Walk is to promote healthy living for people of all ages by guiding the beneficial design of future land development. This includes protecting and establishing more delightful green spaces, securing additional accessible pathways throughout our neighbourhood, and encouraging active lifestyles.

Who We Are

The Deepings Green Walk is being developed and promoted through the local Deepings Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group.

Our group is named Deepings First and we are continuing with a variety of community consultation activities. Please take up the opportunity to get involved and have your say.

Defining the Deepings Area

'The Deepings' is defined as the joint neighbourhoods of Market Deeping and Deeping St. James. This area includes Frognall and the Nature Reserve to the East, and borders with Deeping Gate to the South of the river Welland. The Deepings bypass forms a clear boundary to the West and North side with links to countryside routes beyond.

The village of West Deeping is a destination to visit on a list of extended walks for leisure purposes, along with Langtoft, Deeping St. Nicholas, Maxey and Northborough. Green routes to these outlying villages, the Peterborough Green Wheel, and areas of open countryside, will be identified and included as spurs from the Deepings Green Walk to encourage exploration of our natural environment.

Improving Accessibility for all

The Deepings Green Walk is for people of all ages and all degrees of mobility. It focuses on ensuring all local facilities can be accessed safely by a variety of modes of travel - particularly without the need to use a car. The ongoing design and development of The Deepings Green Walk is supporting safe movement around and within The Deepings by improving existing access and by advising on new developments.

The Deepings has many amenities that we all need to be able to access i.e. shops, schools, the Deeping Practice Health Centre, the Library, the Community Centre, bus stops, parks, churches, Post Offices, public houses, clubs, cafes, sports and leisure facilities. The emphasis for developing the Deepings Green Walk is to plan accessible and attractive safe routes in conjunction with housing and highways planning before new development begins.
