Wiltshire Climate Alliance have set up a Community Interest Company (CIC) to develop a project called Wessex Greenways.
Project Outline
To develop and deliver greenways joining major conurbations and settlements across Wiltshire and linking to other counties adjoining the Wiltshire border.
Each greenway will deliver safe wheeling, walking and riding routes within a biodiverse corridor.
Outcomes

Healthier and happier communities with active travel as first choice.
Closer active travel links between towns, villages and countryside
Increased biodiversity across the area, giving wildlife its own corridors.
Phase 1 - a stable platform to attract funding to deliver route elements
the development of an overall long-term plan for routes across the county and detailed route design for an initial phase
land acquisition

Key Partners
The CIC also has representatives from a number of Wiltshire cycling communities.
