Coonect 2 - The People's £50million

Well done and thanks to everyone for voting in this competition to decide on how £50million Lottery cash will be spent. The winning project was Sustrans Connect2, part of which will improve the Hastings - Bexhill cycle link and which was reported on in an earlier post.

Connect2 answers the growing call for new ways of getting around. It will be a blueprint for reconnecting people to the places they want to go in a more environmentally-friendly way, transforming communities into places that people can take pride in.

The project will make travel healthier, safer and more enjoyable for everyone. It will show how to develop sustainable local travel. The local environment will also benefit from attractive landscaping, seating and public art, to reflect the spirit and identity of the local community.
