CONSULTATION has begun on the final two routes in the £100 million Transforming Cities Fund project for south east Dorset. Details of the two routes – one linking Poole town centre with Ferndown and Wimborne and the other from Merley to Christchurch – have been published ahead of work starting in the coming months. They are the longest of the six planned and, on top of aiming to improve cycle and pedestrian links, include better provision for bus services. The mainly government-funded scheme will see new segregated cyclist and walking routes created alongside new bus shelters with real-time service information and road changes to priorities buses.
