PROJECT
ACTIVE TODMORDEN
The project will improve walking and cycling routes in Todmorden to make the town more accessible. The changes will promote healthier communities and create a more attractive and welcoming town.
This project’s objective is to enable people to walk or cycle as part of their everyday journeys, allowing more people to access and enjoy Todmorden’s natural landscape.
Active Todmorden will provide an accessible, attractive, legible pedestrian environment in the town centre and on key approaches, improve pedestrian access and strengthen links between the Rail Station to the town centre and establish a spine walking and cycling network, using the Burnley Road corridor for connections north/south.
WHAT’S INVOLVED:
Creating walking and cycling routes to strengthen Todmorden’s offering as a place for outdoor activities
Creating a number of new cycle parking spaces throughout Todmorden
Improving pedestrian access, including links between Todmorden Rail Station and the town centre
