A £500,000 COUNCIL plan to encourage people to get on their bikes has been given the green light.
The four-year scheme, which will see the development of a comprehensive network of cycle paths in the borough, is being supported by Sustrans, the charity behind the National Cycle Network and was given the thumbs up at a meeting of Burnley Borough Council's executive committee last night.
The council has secured £100,000 of funding from Sustrans with a further £100,000 promised from Lancashire County Council. The borough council is also seeking further funding from other sources for more than £200,000.
