improve active travel

The huge number of people cycling (and walking) on quiet roads during lockdown has shown how great Cornwall could be if we built the infrastructure the allow people to safely travel by bike or on foot. Its not the hills or the weather that puts people off, it is the feeling of vulnerability in amongst motor traffic. As lockdown has eased we have found roads we could easily cross or walk along now feel unsafe to use with our children. It would be great to keep this surge of people travelling actively post-COVID, and it will benefit all, not just those who choose to travel by bike or on foot, as it will reduce congestion, improve the environment and has been shown in multiple case studies to increase footfall and spending in town centres.
