Leader of Rotherham Council, Cllr Chris Read said: “The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way the people in Rotherham travel. Many residents have taken to new walking and cycling routines they established during lockdown and so this funding is very much welcomed.

“Active travel is so important for people’s health and wellbeing and this funding will encourage even more people to benefit from an active lifestyle. The schemes due to be implemented will also help us work towards our ongoing goal of reducing air pollution in the town.


Sounds like a good idea, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster are doing the same. Why should we be any different and lag behind other towns.
