Poster. At the top is an Open Street Map render of the Dengie peninsula with indicative cycle paths In the middle: a black ink image of a bicycle slightly overlays the map. Below these a line of text in black reads "A safe cycle route between every settlement'. Below this another line of text in red and bold reads "Let's reconnect the Dengie". The letters eco in the word reconnect are green.

Safe routes serve everyone

walkers, wheelers and cyclists deserve
a safe cycle route between every settlement

Rural road with SLOW painted on the tarmac just before a ‘national speed limit applies’ road sign.

Trying to #rECOnnectDengie has revealed the dearth of thinking and material on rural #ActiveTravel so the latest Streets Ahead podcast is a breath of fresh country air on walk, wheel & cycle infrastructure. Lots to chew on! Thanks @lauralaker.bsky.social @adamtranter.bsky.social

An inspirational vision that could be mirrored in Maldon district #rECOnnectDengie

We need safe Wlaking, Wheeling and Cycling routes across the Dengie #rECOnnectDengie

There's a strong desire for segregated cycling and walking routes. #rECOnnectDengie

Map of the Dengie peninsula in Essex, UK. Overlaid is a network diagram in which the settlements are nodes and the links indicate necessary connections between settlements. Text above the map read ‘reconnaissance’ in white lettering with the letters ‘eco’ in Green. Beneath the map in white lettering reads ‘Find the ways’

The network map here shows the settlements of the Dengie and the links we should expect to see serve safe passage - but where can we find the way?

Let's #rECOnnectDengie

Get in touch if you'd like to join a reconnaissance party this year and I'll add you to our mailing list

A computer-generated image of a railway station platform with passengers and an approaching train. A sign on the platform has the station name 'Maldon'. Above the image text reads 'Let the Train', below the image text reads 'Take the Strain'.

An artistic rending in poster style. A single-carriage train is viewed side-on. Behind the train are trees and a cloudy sky. Above the carriage, some ext reads 'ITE'. Below the carriage, there is text reading 'Integrated Transport Essex'.

Will a new unitary authority bring a new transport vision for mid-Essex?

When will we #rECOnnectDengie?

These move towards the #rECOnnectDengie 'Slow Ways Dengie' vision but a quick look already reveals the lack of:

Over a THIRD of Maldon School Pupils Overweight: New NHS Data Reveals The worst areas in Essex for childhood obesity have been named, as the county looks to another country for tips on how to tackle the issue.
