Project Process
Background
This project is funded through the Sustrans administered Places for Everyone Programme. Places for Everyone seeks to work with communities and partners to create new infrastructure that makes walking, wheeling and cycling easier, safer and a more attractive form of transport for shorter everyday journeys.
The project seeks to build on the active travel community engagement work previously undertaken in Oban through Smarter Choices Smarter Places that led to the publication of the Sustaining Places Action plan for Active Travel and Sustainable Transport in Oban and to help deliver on some of the actions that were identified in the 2023 action plan.
