He says, "Cycling is healthy and reduces congestion so it is welcome news that more and more people are taking to two wheels. "Ensuring this funding is targeted where improvements will make a real difference to cyclists is just one way we are ensuring this trend continues".
In South Gloucestershire, £275,000 improvements will be made to the A38 Gloucester Road. £100,000 of that will come from the Government while South Gloucestershire council will make up the rest. In Bath, £322,100 will be spent on the Two Tunnels path, Northern Link. £252,100 from Government funds and £70,000 from Bath & North East Somerset Council. In Bristol, £260,000 will be used to make Baldwin Street safer, half from the Government and half from the council. £500,000 will be used for a cycle path by the Gloucester Road, the funding again split between the Government and Bristol City Council.
Very welcome news but obviously theirs a lot more work to be done. More updates to come on areas bookmarked for improvements.
