The Friends of the TPT are aware of the ongoing budget constraints that local authority officers are facing on a daily basis. As a Board we felt it would be a a great addition to the TPT route to look to seek for external funding for accessible furniture for all users to benefit.
We have a passion for providing better facilities for everyone. The support of the local community has helped to address this and hope to continue to secure funding to enhance the Trans Pennine Trail further.

| Skelton Grange Road Bridge, Leeds | A steep, open concrete staircase up to a bridge carrying the TPT across the Aire Navigation at Skelton Grange has long been a severe obstacle for travellers to and from Leeds. Various solutions have been considered over the years only to be rejected n grounds of practicality or cost. However, the resurfacing of the TPT from Leeds towards Woodlesford funded by Highways England and completed in March 2020 by Sustrans underlines the need to make this route accessible and safe for everyone, including families, disabled users and those with heavy or non-standard bikes. Friends Trustees are working with the Leeds Cycle Campaign and others to achieve a safe and accessible crossing at Skelton Bridge. Sustrans has completed a feasibility with a preferred option which is now with Leeds for further discussion. We await the next stage of this project. |
