The Connect2 project (http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/) is competing against five other projects for funding of £50 million from the `Big Lottery Fund's Living Landmarks: The People's Millions' which is to be decided by public television vote in December this year.
The objective of the Connect2 project is to create traffic-free walking and cycling routes across the U.K., creating closer communities, promoting healthier living and protecting our environment.
The main Connect2 project in the Sheffield area is an ambitious scheme to link up communities to the revitalised Chesterfield Canal, the Sheffield Tram and to the Rother Valley. Our November Ride from the Supertram Cyclists Special will explore the possibilities in this area.
On the reserve list is the iconic Sheaf Valley foot and cycle bridge to connect the revitalised Hyde Park area with Pond St and the city centre.
TO VOTE, THERE ARE 2 SIMPLE STEPS:
STEP1) REGISTER WITH CONNECT2, using one of the following methods: - Text `Connect2' to 80010 - Visit www.sustransconnect2.org.uk and register on the website - Send your full name, mobile and email address to the following address, indicating that you want to be kept informed of Connect2 e-news: Sustrans, Freepost BS 7739, Bristol, BS1 5FA
