Lancashire's 'missing' link cycling routes to be completed across Rossendale, St Annes and Pendle
Details have been revealed of a series of ‘missing’ cycle links that are set to be plugged after Lancashire received £5.5m in funding to boost walking and cycling.
The money will also be used to create an extension to a cycle lane in St. Annes, as well as junction improvements in Nelson. Some of the schemes will require public consultations to be carried out before they can be implemented, as highway regulations will have to be changed as a result of the planned works.
The authority is currently developing proposals for seven Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans to bridge gaps in Lancashire’s existing network of footpaths and cycle routes in order to facilitate safer, more direct and convenient journeys. He added: “We know that more people choose to walk and cycle for regular journeys where safe, direct, and convenient routes exist, and I’m really pleased that the more than £5.5m we have been awarded will allow us to make some significant improvements.
