Grant Shapps presents walking and cycling scheme, after Highways England slammed for pouring concrete into railway arch
Victorian railway bridges that were due to be filled in with concrete in an act previously decried as “cultural vandalism” will be repurposed as part of a scheme to encourage walking and cycling, the UK transport secretary has announced.
The government is halting the demolition of historic train lines in the hope that they can be remodelled as routes which encourage greener means of travel.
