We’ve received Government funding for a range of improvements that make it safer to walk, cycle and bus, which helps reduce congestion, lowers emissions and makes it easier for everyone to get around.
Most of our proposed projects are in Linwood and Bromley, areas currently lacking in real travel choice. We’re also proposing cycleway connection projects in Richmond, Barrington, Halswell, Aidanfield, Cashmere, to help people get around.
