Work finally begins


Work has finally began on the Two Tunnels project, thanks to pressure on B&NES Council by Cllr Neil Butters and Project Chair Gitte Dawson.
Attracting £1 million of Lottery funding, the project will connect Midford with the centre of Bath to create a new cycle and walking route between thelocations. The multi-user path will join Bath and Midford by an almost-flat system of tunnels and overland paths following the existing railway line that is currently out of use.
Prospective Lib Dem MP Gail Coleshill commented:
“The Two Tunnels route will benefit businesses, residents and visitors. It will encourage visitors to make more use of what Bath & North East Somerset has to offer.
Overall, this is part of the national Sustrans initiative which links up hundreds of walking and cycling routes around the country.”
