We are often asked where our funding could come from. Initiatives like these would contribute to the overall costs of building the Wharfedale Greenway. Fingers crossed for a future successful bid! @mayorofwy.bsky.social @westyorkshireca.bsky.social
Active travel plays a key role in our plans for a modern, integrated transport network in West Yorkshire.
With £17m of new funding, we’ll continue to improve walking, wheeling, and cycling across the region.
