Funding secured for safer student walking and cycling route
City of Wolverhampton Council has secured £600,000 to create a safer walking and cycling route for students between the city’s transport Interchange and the University of Wolverhampton’s new Springfield Campus. The money has come through the Black Country Consortium from the Access to Growth fund. Currently the streets around what is the former Springfield Brewery site have poor pedestrian and cyclist provision and suffer from traffic passing between Cannock Road and Wednesfield Road, often at inappropriate speeds.
