New funding to support path management projects
Paths for All have opened their new Ian Findlay Path Fund which aims to enable more people to walk, wheel or cycle for their everyday journeys to improve air quality, reduce CO2 emissions and improve physical health and mental wellbeing.
Applications are open on a rolling basis and community groups, third sector organisations and charities are eligible to apply for between £10,000 to £100,000.
Activities which can be supported include the removal of barriers, steps, ramps or vegetation; linking community destinations by filling in path connectivity gaps; tackling flooded sections of paths to increase climate change resilience; adding lighting to make paths safer, especially at night or in winter; improving sight lines; and upgrading desire lines.
