Creation of new travel links hit a bump in the road

Central Somerset Gazette

|

July 03, 2025

EFFORTS to deliver new walking and cycling links across Somerset have hit a bump in the road due to changes in akey grant funding organisation.

- DANIEL MUMBY Local democracy journalist daniel.mumby@reachple.com

The Somerset Association of Local Councils (SALC) brings together town and parish councils across the county, and provides a number of grants every year aimed at boosting community health and well-being.

Due to demand for the grant funding from projects earlier in the calendar year, SALC has announced that its grants for future projects this year will be capped at £10,000, rather than the usual upper limit of £35,000.

SALC has said it is still willing to work with local active travel groups, such as the Strawberry Line Society and the Taunton Area Cycling Campaign (TACC) to help deliver projects, though it could not provide significant capital funding for any such venture.
