SCC has submitted its bid for the Emergency Active Travel Fund Tranche 2. They say “….10 schemes across the county bid for, totalling £7.8m, against our indicative allocation from DfT of £6.785m, this overbid, we believe shows Surrey’s ambition for active travel.” Two schemes for Guildford are included, namely:
- £1.65M for ” Guildford to Burpham Cycle Route – On road cycle track ……… to link Boxgrove roundabout to Great Oaks Park on the A3100, with tie-in to the local streets and facilities either side of the A3100. From Great Oaks Park, this could be tied in to any Gosden Hill Farm development once access point(s) to that are known. “
- £177K for ” Dagley Lane …. to upgrade an existing off-road path to provide a suitable surface and width for a shared cycle/footway (segregated from motor traffic). ” (this is part of the proposed Guildford Godalming Greenway)
We should know by September if the bid has been successful.
