Council launches Active Travel engagement

Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) is inviting residents, businesses, and visitors to share their views on the future of walking, wheeling, and cycling in the district through a newly launched public engagement initiative.

Through UK Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF), the Council is developing an “Approach to Active Travel” document. This plan will outline opportunities to enhance walking and cycling routes, reduce congestion, improve air quality, and support healthier, more sustainable travel choices.
