plans to spend £4.9 million on improvements to the path, including improved entry and exit points, transformed open spaces, children's play areas and seating. The former Levenshulme South railway station was transformed in 2022 into a cycle cafe, bar, urban garden, restaurant and bike workshop as a social enterprise called Station South. Crime & antisocial behaviour on the Loop Despite an announcement by the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham of plans to invest £160m on the 'Bee Safe Network' of cycleways and walking routes fears that antisocial behaviour and crime along the route that had already existed including 21 cyclists attacked in autumn 2018, increased. In light of this, there were calls for Greater Manchester Police to take cycle crime in Manchester more seriously - as the incidents put people off using the Loop as a commuter and leisure route. The route should benefit from a share of the Greater Manchester ‘Safer Streets Fund'.
