Active Travel: Cycling charity issues reaction

Xavier Brice, CEO at Sustrans, has issued a statement in the wake of this week’s Active Travel funding announcement:

“As the charity that looks after the National Cycle Network, this funding is a fantastic boost to our work to make the 13,000 miles of routes safer and more accessible for local journeys, whether by foot, cycle, wheelchair or mobility scooter. 

“We can now step-up our work with local communities, many partners and governments across the UK, to make it easier for everyone to walk, wheel or cycle for more journeys, growing local economies, providingeasy and healthy access to nature and helping people live well for longer.”
