Issue details

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.
