Purpose

The Council has successfully secured 100%
Grant funding from the DEFRA ‘Access for All Grant’
towards accessibility improvements on the Pennine Way and Pennine
Bridleway National Trails. These improvements will enable usage by
those who would otherwise be unable to access the trails due to
protected characteristics (e.g. mobility/visual
impairment).
