2) Cycle parking is provided throughout the authority, particularly at the main communities and around major trip generators such as high streets and libraries etc.
3) The canal towpath between Bathampton and Sydney Gardens is improved, including widening it to 2.5 metres where space allows with it being resurfaced with a tarmac base and tar spray and stone chip surface with appropriate signing as recommended in the CRT document “Better Towpaths for Everyone” and ongoing safety education.
