More funding to complete Frome's cycle and walking paths
The Missing Links project is working to create new paths across the town.
Efforts to complete walking and cycling ‘missing links’ across a Somerset town have received a welcome boost from a local group.
The Frome’s Missing Links project aims to deliver new multi-user paths across Frome to provide a better connection between the town and the neighbouring settlements.
A generous £8,500 being donated by the Frome Community Bike Project to help complete the work.
Ruth Knagg, a Frome’s Missing Links trustee, said: “Our trustee group were astonished to be told how much the Bike Project was donating.
“We thought that they would only be able to cover their own operating costs for a good few years before they would be in a position to donate profits.
“It’s utterly marvellous, because we have an ongoing need to raise funds to complete remaining missing sections of off-road cycle paths which will make both riding and walking around Frome much safer and more fun. Thank you so much to everyone involved at FCBP.”
FCBP director Emma Parker added; “We are absolutely overjoyed to be able to make this donation to Frome’s Missing Links.
“Our volunteers have worked incredibly hard to make FCBP a success and the support of the community has been amazing.
“We’re looking forward to another successful year and have lots of plans to continue supporting and encouraging cycling in Frome.”
