Bournemouth Town Hall (Graffity, Wikimedia Commons)£36k to let people know that cycle paths exist in Dorset
Dorset Council has found £36,000 to buy new signage promoting the local cycle routes - because they discovered many people don’t know it exists.
The cash from the Coastal Community Fund will fund route markers across the borough's 24 mile cycle network.
Wayne Sayers, the authority's sustainable transport manager, told the Bournemouth Echo: "We are pleased to have been awarded funding for new and improved signage for the cycling paths in Christchurch.
"The road network suffers from traffic congestion so encouraging more people to undertake more of their journeys by bicycle will help reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment for local people.
"We are working to make active travel a bigger part of our culture, connecting Dorset’s residents to their schools, shops, work and leisure facilities whilst improving health and cutting pollution."
