Ministerial Interest in a local-level transport scheme!?
The Department for Transport’s recurring problem is that it focussing on large scale, long-distance journeys rather than the short ones people make every day. Bath’s ‘Two Tunnels’ project falls in the latter category, using old railway tunnels to forge a link between Midford and the centre of Bath.
He (Norman Baker) will meet volunteers and representatives of the environmental charity Sustrans to talk about the link being driven through two old railway tunnels between Oldfield Park and Midford.This is a most pleasant surprise to see a transport minister will be visiting the project today! Hopefully this signals a welcome change in direction and renewed interest in cycle infrastructure.
