The City Council was successful in securing a Cycle City Ambition Grant from the Department of Transport worth £17million. The bid was developed focused on the city centre and a surrounding cycle commuter catchment area of 20 minutes cycling time from the ring road, to optimise potential modal shift. The CCAG programme consists of fifty work packages under the themes of Main Corridors, Parallel Routes, City Centre, Green Routes, Canal Works, Local Links and Supporting Measures.
