Derbyshire County Council ran an online consultation about the Chesterfield to Staveley Regeneration Route (CSRR) that finished on Sunday 10th April.
Click here to see the DCC leaflet which explained the plans.
The CSRR is a proposed new road to relieve congestion on the A619 and to provide access to the Staveley Works corridor, which is a major regeneration site.
The CSRR runs from the Sainsbury’s roundabout in Chesterfield to the Hall Lane roundabout in Staveley, see below.
The CSRR route crosses the canal at three locations; at Tinkersick, below Wheeldon Mill Lock and just west of Bilby Lane Bridge.
It is proposed to divert the canal at the first two crossings, see below.
There will be no new locks.

This was the first of two consultations this year. This one was the key opportunity to ask for changes to be considered, because the design was still at an outline stage. The design team will be developing the scheme further in preparation for a planning application. They will be consulting again before the planning application, but by then major changes will be more difficult.
