Purpose

The purpose of the proposed order is to
support the improved amenity in Nelson Town Centre, with improved
pedestrian and cycle access and linkage across Nelson. All the
proposals will work together to create a safer environment for
pedestrians, cyclists, and vulnerable users. It is hoped this will
give confidence to encourage more users to consider commuting via
non-motorised means and this will improve health and air quality
for the residents of Nelson.
