Options for Active
Travel - Proposals for Skipton Town Council
September 2025
We have had four meetings of the cross-sectoral Active Travel Working Group (membership listed below ) and have undertaken a detailed community survey which resulted in 72 responses. At the last meeting, we agreed a list of prioritised options and categorised these by ease of implementation (e.g. likely cost and feasibility). We have also tried to clarify the role of the Town Council and the partners we would need to engage with if we are to implement some of these options.
