‘Emergency’ walking and cycling route brought in during pandemic set to be made permanent

Installed in the summer of 2020, it connects the Heatons with Stockport town centre via quieter back streets, so people don't have to use the busy A6.

It was funded by the government’s Emergency Active Travel Fund in order to encourage locals to travel on foot or by bike and avoid overcrowding on public transport.
