Purpose

Bristol City Council received £870,741
of development funding from Active Travel England for developing
four walking and cycling schemes; Filwood Quietway; Deanery Road;
Old Market Quietway and Malago Greenway. As the project continues
to progress an underspend of £333,000 has emerged. A change
request was submitted to Active Travel England to redirect a
portion of this funding to an existing on-street cycle hangar
programme (£50,000) as well as to the development of an
Outline Business Case (£283,000) for improving walking and
cycling infrastructure along a stretch of the A4 from Cattlemarket
Rd to 3 lamps junction. The request has been approved by Active
Travel England and now requires internal approval to redirect
funding to the abovementioned projects.
