Active Travel Fund - Tranche 1

As part of its Covid-19 response, in May 2020 the Government announced a £250m Emergency Active Travel Fund (EATF) to deliver quick emergency interventions to make cycling and walking safer.  The Department for Transport (DfT) allocated £263,250 towards the County Council’s Emergency Active Travel Fund (Tranche 1) proposals.

The County Council’s COVID 19 Resilience, Recovery and Renewal Committee determined the proposed schemes to be delivered using the Tranche 1 funding at its meeting on 16 July 2020.  Following a review of the proposed Tranche 1 schemes, the Communities and Place Committee determined amendments to the programme at its 7 January 2021 meeting as detailed in the ‘Provisional Highways Capital & Revenue Programmes 2021/22’ report
