Cyclists in three parts of Northumberland are set to receive a major boost after a multi-million plan to develop new "high quality" cycle routes were given the green light by leading councillors.
The routes will create stronger and greener links in Ponteland, Ashington and Blyth, connecting residents to their places of work, education, and leisure.
Members of Northumberland County Council agreed to put forward £550,000 from the council's local cycling and walking infrastructure budget, adding to £4.8 million from third party funding.
