This scheme will support completion of the
remaining 2km of canal towpath on the Leeds Liverpool Canal that
will provide a continuous walking and cycling route from Leeds City
Centre towards the Yorkshire Dales providing an all-weather route
that will help boost tourism and leisure throughout the year
providing support to the local economy all year round, as well as
providing a sustainable, low-cost, travel link to access local
employment and skills opportunities. This will not only boost the
local area but also beyond to areas like the World Heritage Site at
Saltaire and out to the Yorkshire Dales through West Yorkshires
towns and villages.
