Title: ?2 billion package to create new era for cycling and walking - Tranche 2
Post by: CyclingSid on November 13, 2020, 09:59:15
So Tranche 2, badged as providing

    ?School Streets?, where streets around schools are closed to motorists at school times
    low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs), where residential side streets are closed to through traffic to stop rat-running
    segregated cycle lanes
    pedestrian improvements

Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Have trouble getting my head round Reading's allocation after their abysmal performance in Round 1.

Not sure the changes in this "Strengthened advice on consultation and engagement."

And slightly hidden, the public opinion survey

Presumably to encourage some local authorities to have a bit more spine.
