Latest report:
April 2026:
Since its inception in 2007, the project and its route have been known as the Cam, Dursley & Uley Greenway. This name was originally chosen to reflect the proposed route from Cam & Dursley Station along the former railway line into the centre of Dursley.
However, after extensive planning and assessment, it became clear that most of the original railway route could not be used. As a result, significant work was undertaken to identify an alternative route that would deliver the project’s goals.
Over time, the scope of the project has expanded. Uley was added, and work is underway to explore connections to Coaley and Slimbridge. Given these developments, the original name no longer accurately reflects the nature and direction of the project.
The project team has considered a name change to better capture the broader vision and purpose of the route. We are now pleased to share that the time is right to make this change.
We are delighted to announce that the route will now be known as the Pedersen Way.
The new name honours Mikael Pedersen, an innovative Danish inventor and engineer who lived in Dursley during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for designing the iconic Pedersen bicycle, which was manufactured in Dursley and became famous for its unique frame and comfortable ride. The new name reflects the spirit of sustainable travel, invention, and connection that lies at the heart of this project.
We believe Pedersen Way is distinctive, locally meaningful, and resonates with both residents and visitors. It reflects the route’s character and its evolving role in connecting communities across the area.
Thank you for your continued support as we move forward with this exciting project.
Kind regards,
Phil Littleford
