In 2022, Suffolk County Council (SCC) secured funding from Active Travel England to look at how active travel could be encouraged in Woodbridge by improving the local infrastructure.Then, in 2023, SCC secured a further £5m to deliver some of these improvements.The proposals are designed not only to enable and encourage safe and easy walking, wheeling and cycling trips, but also to make public spaces in Woodbridge even nicer places to spend time.
The proposed interventions were designed and developed following public and key stakeholder engagement during 2023, and analysis of Traffic Data, to make Woodbridge’s streets better-connected and more people-friendly.
SCC want to make it easier to choose more active ways of getting around.Increased active travel has been shown to benefit mental and physical health, improve air quality, reduce traffic congestion and noise pollution, and increase safety.
