As reported previously, Lincolnshire County Council launched a consultation in March to ask for residents’ views on eight schemes in towns across the county, including in Louth and Mablethorpe.
The proposals emerged thanks to the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund, which has awarded £799,900 to give Lincolnshire people more opportunities to choose walking and cycling for their day-to-day journeys.
Today (Thursday) it has been revealed that five of these eight schemes have been supported by a majority of residents, although some proposals have been amended due to the public feedback.
Over 2,750 residents, businesses, and organisations across Lincolnshire completed the consultation which ended on Sunday May 16.

In Barrow, proposals include segregated cycleways, pedestrian crossings and junction improvements for both cyclists and pedestrians on Bridge Road and Michaelson Road, which would be funded by £886,000 grant from the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund.
