The Long Eaton Town Deal Investment Plan sets out a vision for Long Eaton and a schedule of work agreed by the Town Board members, reflecting the needs of local businesses and organisations as well as local residents. The Town Board would like to improve the connectivity around areas of the town. These include the bridge at Broad Street which connects West Park to the town centre. Currently the Broad Street Bridge is narrow and the ramps are steep. More importantly it doesn’t connect with the canal towpath. There is also an opportunity to build a new multi-purpose pedestrian and cycle bridge over the canal at Britannia Road. This would provide an alternate route along the canal for residents north of Derby Road. It would also offer a direct route towards the site of the proposed HS2 Hub Station at Toton.
