People, community groups and businesses are invited to find out more about plans to provide Cleator Moor with better cycling and walking links.
An event will be held on Tuesday July 30 at the Cleator Moor Civic Hall and Masonic Centre on The Square, between 3pm and 6.30pm.
The plans for the Connected Town, part of the multi-million-pound Cleator Moor Town Deal, will be on display with officers from Cumberland Council on hand to answer questions.
More than 3.5km of walking and cycling routes will be enhanced as part of the project and ss part of the proposals, seven places have been highlighted as areas where money could be invested in new or improved paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
They are: Mill Hill to the Leconfield Industrial Estate; Leconfield Industrial Estate to Birks Road; Town Square frontage; Aldby Grove to the east of Wath Brow Junction; Market Square to Cleator Mills link; the Leconfield to Activity Centre link and the Leconfield Industrial Estate links.
The Connected Town project also includes proposed improvements to three road junctions – Wath Brow the Bowthorn Road/Whitehaven Road junction and the Leconfield junction.
At the event, there will also be the opportunity to take part in a consultation and have your say.
There are also plans to enhance gateways into Cleator Moor – the main entry points by road – to provide a positive first experience for people travelling into the town.
Connected Town is one of four projects that make up the Cleator Moor Town Deal.
Cleator Moor Town Deal secured an award of £22.5m from the Government’s Towns Fund along with an additional £18.4m from match funders.
