THE ribbon has been cut on the new greenway linking Lichfield and Chasewater.
The 6.5km corridor follows the route of the disused South Staffordshire Railway Line.
It has been developed by Lichfield District Council in partnership with volunteer group Back the Track, which previously converted the Brownhills to Pelsall section of the line.
A launch event at Sandfields Pumping Station showcased the railway’s heritage and the transformation journey.
The greenway can be accessed at:
