THE small PRINT:
Connect2 is a huge scheme that will build new cycling & walking bridges and crossings over barriers such as busy roads, rivers and railway lines linking people with schools, shops, town centres and universities in 79 communities nationwide. It’ll give people the choice to walk and cycle - for the benefit of both their health and the environment –
It’s Sustrans’ entry in to a competition to win £50 million of Lottery money. We’re up against projects from Eden, Sherwood Forest and The Black Country, but ours is the only project that is UK wide and that will combat obesity, climate change and traffic congestion, making your town a nicer, safer cleaner place to live in and travel around.
