Cheshire County Council and Chester City Council made a joint bid to win this funding in which half the highway authorities in England also submitted bids and detailed plans. The project will give Chester and the other 17 demonstration towns selected, a share of the largest investment in cycling the country has ever seen, almost £100 million pounds. The money will transform these nominated towns into areas where cycling becomes a genuine option, improving the local environment, city centre congestion and fitness of 2.5 million people.
