Campaign Set To Pay Off For Family Of Adam Mugridge
Written by HFM News on 18th September 2018
A safe route for pedestrians and cyclists is finally set to be built between Lubenham and Market Harborough, in memory of a 13- year-old boy who was killed while cycling to school.
The family of Adam Mugridge have been campaigning tirelessly for it since the tragedy just over 12 years ago, when the youngster was hit by a lorry, just outside the village.
Council bosses have now officially recognised the mile-long route, along the old railway line from Old Hall Road, Lubenham to Farndale View, Market Harborough, as a public right of way, paving the way to build the path, which will be similar to that on the Brampton Valley Way.
It’ll be paid for by the Adam’Smile charity, which has raised over £100,000 since Adam’s death, with further fundraisers to be held to reach the estimated £175,000 needed for the work.
