re:- Part closure/re-routing of the Breadsall/Little Eaton Footpath. The above footpath is a designated pedestrian right of way from the village of Breadsall to Little Eaton, which has provide a link for centuries between the two villages. It should go directly to Little Eaton and not be re-routed south, in the opposite direction, to join another footpath on the A61, which is a right of way from Breadsall to Darley Abbey. Pedestrians would have extreme difficulty and put themselves in danger crossing the A61 and the proposed flyover complex, in order arrive in Little Eaton. Instead the footpath should be re-directed north, along the eastern side of the A38 development to join an existing right of way at the Severn Trent top waterworks and so use the existing A38 underpass to allow safe access into Little Eaton.
