The next meeting of the Congleton Cycling Campaign will be on Monday 26th November at 20.00 in the bar at Congleton Leisure Centre. At this meeting we will discuss the 'Connect2' project that is aiming to win the £50 million People's Lottery money in December 2007.
Connect2 is one of six projects competing for a single grant of £50 million from the Big Lottery Fund's Living Landmarks: The People's Millions. The winning project will finally be decided by a public vote on television in December 2007.
Connect2 is a UK-wide project that will transform local travel in 79 cities, towns and villages by creating new walking and cycling routes for the journeys we all make every day. Crossings and bridges will be created over busy roads, railway lines and rivers, linking into new networks of local paths to get you to where you want to go.
If Connect2 wins, millions of you will be able to travel in a healthy and environmentally-friendly way to the shops, school, work, and the park or to see family and friends. With 79 Connect2 schemes around the UK there's likely to be one near you.
