Proposed route B004 starts from Hyde Lane (St Stephen 94 restricted byway) and continuesgenerally northeastwards (parallel to the disused railway line) then southeastwards and northeastwards around the primary school to meet proposed route B009. Proposed route B009 starts from proposed route B004 and continues generally southwards to meet Hyde Lane (St Stephen 94 restricted byway). Recording notes: Part of B004 is currently recorded as St Stephen 33A footpath. Part of B009 is currently recorded as part of St Stephen 87 footpath, and part is recorded as St Stephen 26 footpath.

We would very much like to include the current footpath (part of St Stephen 87) from the northern end of B009 to Boundary Road (public road), as this would provide an exist for riders wishing to head towards Burydell Lane (St Stephen 85 bridleway) and the proposed new paths accessed from that route.
