Great News! Sustrans' Connect2 has won the Big Lottery's 'Living Landmarks: The People's 50 Million' vote, which means that we will receive around £600,000 towards the cost of our scheme. So what happens next?
Consultation on the principle of introducing the new links ended on Friday 21 December. All of the surveys received will be analysed over the coming weeks. The Council will then make a formal decision on how to proceed.
There are a number of issues that still need to be resolved - including the need to secure additional funding, acquire land, carry out detailed design and secure planning permission - so works 'on the ground' won't be starting straight away. However, we'll be doing all we can to make things happen as quickly as possible. Watch this space for details!
