Active travel works get under way in Portlethen, Aberdeenshire
The work will provide up to 3m wide shared-use paths that should help support more people opting to visit the shops, local services and schools by bike or foot.In towns where this level of infrastructure has been provided, such as Peterhead, Huntly, Ellon and Inverurie, levels of walking and cycling have seen increases and it is hoped that the monitoring in Portlethen will also reflect this uplift.
