A ‘REVOLUTIONARY’ £2bn fund aimed at encouraging more people to take up cycling and walking has been welcomed by Copeland’s MP.
The fund, launched by the Prime Minister this week will see thousands of miles of new protected bike lanes, cycle training and bikes available on prescription.
Trudy Harrison, MP for Copeland, said: “Cycling is a brilliant alternative to the car for short distances. With the emphasis firmly on getting healthier and a wonderful network of cycle tracks and bridleways to explore, we have many reasons to peddle."
