 We're proposing upgraded facilities along Beechdale Road, Hollington Road and Wigman Road to create a safer environment for people walking and cycling.
The Covid-19 pandemic has seen more people becoming active. Cycling has fantastic benefits for physical and mental wellbeing, and by replacing those shorter car journeys, we can all help to reduce harmful emissions and help the city achieve its target of being carbon neutral by 2028.
Using the latest design standards, the proposals include replacing the existing cycle lanes?as well as improvements to junctions and pedestrian crossing facilities. The scheme would create better connections to the wider cycle network, and provide a safer highway for local residents, businesses and schools.
You can respond to the consultation?here.
 Try the Look Up Adventure Trail, a scavenger hunt aimed at primary school aged children (but open to all). The trail ? accessed by a free app ? will lead you around the city centre to answer questions, complete challenges and discover clues hidden in plain sight. So even if you?ve ventured down a street many times before, there are always new secrets to uncover!
