People’s millions

The people have voted, maybe not with their feet, but for their feet - well for transport, anyway, and the People’s Millions Lottery grant of £50 million has gone to the Connect2 scheme put together by Sustrans.
The ambitious programme to get over obstacles to walking and cycling, but stops short of penalising nobs in cars, has identified 79 schemes throughout the country which would benefit from a bridge, walkway, etc.
Two schemes in the PRSD catchment area (Newton Abbot and Ottery St Mary) are already earmarked for development, with another at Bovey Tracey being held in reserve. And if you look closely at the Newton Abbot scheme, it might not even effect the proposed flyover down to Torbay.
