Minutes:

The Board received a verbal update on active travel across Dewsbury. David Wildman, Service Director, Skills, and Regeneration advised that at the last Board meeting, information was requested on active travel. Active travel was an effective transport movement around the district and sat alongside the investment of public transport. Specific schemes involved Bond Street and a trial traffic order on corporation street.

 

The following items were expected in the near future:

  • Transforming cities funding,
  • Dewsbury Town Centre Cycling schemes
  • Link between Dewsbury-Batley-Chidswell corridor.

 

Kirklees Communications team had created a connecting Kirklees page with all details on the Kirklees Councils website.

 

A transport strategy was currently in development with active travel being at the heart of that strategy, this strategy was to go to Kirklees Cabinet in September 25 for approval.

 

RESOLVED- That the Active Travel update be noted.
