Bursledon Road Cycle Route 5. How is This Scheme Being Funded? In March 2020, Hampshire County Council welcomed news of the successful outcome of funding bids to the Department for Transport (DfT). Made jointly with Southampton City Council, Hampshire County Council made a bid for investment designed to improve walking, cycling and public transport within the Southampton City Region. The Department for Transport awarded £57 million to the Southampton City Region from the Transforming Cities Fund (TCF). This funding is for making investment to bring about improvement to cycleways, footways and road crossings to help more people to walk and cycle locally and further afield, as well as improving bus travel and connecting different types of transport through mobility hubs in Eastleigh and Southampton Parkway. The funding will be used to better connect Eastleigh, Bursledon and The Waterside/Totton to Southampton City Centre. Part of this funding will be used to improve cycle routes into Southampton City Centre from outlying residential areas within Hampshire with the aim of making cycle routes better connected. In addition to the above DfT funding, this scheme is to utilise additional local match funding, which includes developer contributions. Bursledon Road Cycle Route 6.
