Road safety and local connections are improved with £310M funding. Nine projects get updates for bikes and walkers.

A public input process began last July. This helped improve road safety and local connections. This is part of a big plan with funding of £310 million, helping the region’s transportation.
Nine projects now have updates because of public feedback. These updates improve crossings for bikes and walkers, and they also fix footpaths and bike routes.
Locals can share thoughts on the updated plans now, before the final versions get made. Everyone’s input is valuable at this stage.
Ben Houchen says public input is crucial because residents know their areas best. Feedback ensures transport changes improve things and make life easier.
Changes might occur in these locations. Hartlepool could see changes on Catcote Road and Church Street. Middlesbrough may update Longlands Road and Newport Bridge.
Redcar and Cleveland may work on Saltburn, Marske, and West Dyke Road. Stockton may see changes near Bowesfield and Bishopton Lanes. Darlington’s review focuses on the town center and Northgate area.
