Kirkbymoorside to Keldholme link
Kirkbymoorside Environment Group raised funds from The Co-op Community Fund, and other fundraising activities, to pay for a surveyor to produce technical drawings for this cycle way. A small amount of S106 monies was allocated to this scheme from the local housing development, which paid for a widened section of path to be installed by Kirkbymoorside sports field. A further sum is needed to extend the widened section to the Old Road, and to install signs, dropped kerbs, and also safety features at the sports field entrance. Kirkbymoorside Environment Group have raised a further £4000, and are currently working with NYCC Area 4 Highways to decide what parts of the scheme to do next and what further funds are needed.
Pickering to Helmsley
The above Kirkbymoorside to Keldholme link will eventually be part of a Pickering to Helmsley Route, including some road-side paths, and some quiet roads and some bridleway sections. The Parishes of Wombleton, Nawton, Beadlam, Sinnington, Marton, Normanby, Wrelton, Aislaby and Middleton could all be linked up- with routes of National Cycle Network standards, by a Pickering-Helmsley route.

Ryedale Cycle Forum are currently pushing for safe cycle routes to Ryedale (High) School from Kirkbymoorside and from Helmsley, and the school are in support. Most of the high school pupils use school transport buses to get to the school, which is in the small village of Nawton.
Ryedale Cycle Forum are working with Ryedale Environment Group, who are a registered charity. This has enabled REG to apply for funding opportunities when they become available for sections of the route.
An options assessment is due to take place shortly for the route, with the support from NYC Highways.
