In May 2020, the government announced an opportunity to bid into the emergency active travel fund (EATF) for funding to provide temporary schemes that would facilitate walking or cycling in place of mass public transport in response to the Covid-19 public health crisis.
The County Council, in co-operation with all of the District and Borough councils, identified 7 schemes that would fulfil the government’s criteria and was successful in securing funding for all of these.
The schemes were implemented over a period of 8 weeks between July and September 2020.
A decision has now been made to determine the future of each of the schemes, the decision in relation to the Chichester scheme having been taken.
