The Department for Transport has announced funding of £32.9 million to help councils across England build a network of active travel experts to help the government realise its ambition of getting more journeys made by cycling or walking, and has pledged to give local communities more of a say in shaping schemes aimed at encouraging more journeys to be made by bike or on foot.
It says that “The investment will help local authorities in England design, develop and consult on high-quality active travel schemes that work for residents and consider the local road network. Chris Boardman, National Active Travel Commissioner for England, pointed out that public engagement exercises including consultations typically show strong backing for such initiatives.
