Improvements for walking, cycling and wheeling

We want to give people in Suffolk a choice in how they travel. Whether it’s walking, cycling, wheeling or using public transport, we could all travel more sustainably, especially for shorter, local journeys. This will mean less congestion, improved air quality and better health and wellbeing. We’ll also be freeing up the roads for those who really have to use them.
