 Walking and Cycling
When making a journey, please plan your journey in advance and consider walking or cycling, especially if your journey is local.
Did you know 70% of journeys made by car are under five miles, which if cycled would take just 30 minutes? Cycling can be an extremely efficient transport method, and is great for social distancing and avoiding crowds.
Emergency Active Travel Fund
A range of pop up cycle lanes, street closures and cycle parking facilities have been put in place across the city as part of the Emergency Active Travel Fund to encourage more active travel during the covid-19 pandemic.
The last scheme, a pop up cycle lane along Carlton Road, has been installed this week, finalising the first round of scheme installations.
