Bath Sustainable Walking & Cycling Links (BSWCL) is an Active Travel scheme, with proposed routes aiming to provide continuous cycle routes, as well as walking and wheeling improvements, across Bath, connecting national cycle routes, education and health facilities as well as residential areas. Alternative modes of travel will become more attractive, enabling reduced car use and supporting improved public health, as well as better air quality and cutting carbon emissions. It will complement and support other similar transport projects across the city. The council is to become the lead on delivery following handover from WECA.
