LATEST NEWS: Delayed towpath works to begin next month nearly half-a-year late
WORK to improve the towpath at two sites of the Leeds Liverpool Canal is due to start in Autumn.
Last year funding to improve a 3km stretch of towpath between Shipley and Apperley Bridge, and another between Silsden and Kildwick, was announced by West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
It was part of a push to encourage more people to use the routes to walk and cycle by "filling gaps" in higher quality surfacing.
The projects are part of the CityConnect scheme that has seen miles of new cycle routes installed between Bradford and Leeds.
‘Increase cycling by 2,000 per cent to tackle climate emergency'
A meeting of the Authority's Bradford District Consultation Sub-Committee will be held online this afternoon, and members will be given an update on a number of local transport schemes.
They will hear that the two CityConnect canal projects have received "supportive" feedback from the public after going out to consultation last year.
Work is due to begin on the schemes in Autumn.
