proposals to improve cycling and walking

People living in four areas of Staffordshire including Newcastle are being urged to have their say on proposals to improve cycling and walking.

The County Council is pumping 1.8 million pounds into the scheme with new segregated cycle lanes, wider and more even pavements, and extra crossing facilities. More cycle parking, priority for cyclists at junctions, and new 20 mile-per-hour zones could also be considered.

People have until 12 March to have their say with work starting as early as April.
