Bolton’s New Signs Push Active Travel | Manchester News

Bolton’s council just unveiled 34 new signs across town center to help everyone—walkers, bikers, scooter riders—navigate with ease, pointing to key spots like the church, library, and Queens Park, even estimating walk times. Beyond directions, some signs pump up active travel with motivational messages, aiming to cut traffic and boost health. The idea sprang from local businesses and council members wanting to highlight attractions and reduce confusion. Funded by the Mayor’s Challenge Fund, the project celebrated with balance bike and e-bike demos. A few jokes about signs being too low to read aside, the real goal is clear: make Bolton’s heart more accessible, vibrant, and active for all.
