Over £7.4m has been secured for new bike lanes, footpaths, and active travel infrastructure across the #Liverpool City Region, including #Halton, #Knowsley, #Liverpool, #Sefton, St Helens, and #Wirral. This funding, from the government’s Active #Travel Fund, will improve connections between existing and planned routes, promoting #walking, #cycling, and wheeling as safer alternatives to car use. Additional funds will support projects like #cycle safety training, secure bike parking, and social prescribing schemes for health and wellbeing. The investment is part of a wider plan to create a 600km network of walking and cycling routes, with 148km already delivered. This forms part of Mayor Rotheram’s plan for an integrated, London-style #transport system. Other major investments include over 100 zero-emission #buses, a new Mersey Ferry, and improvements to St Helens town centre and the Liverpool Baltic rail station.
