Part of the route of a disused railway will be turned into a path and cycleway.

Sustrans, which is working with local authorities in creating the National Cycle Network, has negotiated lease agreements with landowners along a two-mile section of the former Didcot-Newbury railway line between East Hagbourne and Upton, south of Didcot.

The path could also be extended to Wantage and Newbury.

A public meeting will be held at Hagbourne Primary School, East Hagbourne, on Tuesday at 7pm to discuss plans for the route and to launch fundraising for the estimated £126,000 cost of the project.
