Local low-carbon transport project Travelling Light is asking for help from residents and visitors of Hope Valley as they seek to create a fully functional travel and transport network for the area.

Hope Valley is home to some of the country's most beloved beauty spots and receives about 5 million visits every year. It's also home to about 3,500 residents, and local campaigners are determined to work together to co-create the low-carbon transport system Hope Valley deserves.

"This is a big issue for people, place and climate," said Trish Maunder, project coordinator for low-carbon travel project Travelling Light. "Residents and visitors to Hope Valley know that low carbon travel and transport brings a host of advantages including low carbon emissions, a tranquil environment, more accessible pavements and infrastructure and increased safety of walkers and cyclists".

Nationally significant low-carbon travel project Travelling Light believes community action is needed to make low-carbon transport - such as using public transport, walking and cycling - more attractive for residents and visitors alike. The project is hosted by Hope Valley Climate Action, a charity taking action to make their area more resilient to climate change.
