Funding Announced For Shared Pathway Network In Cessnock

 BY IAN CROUCH

 Cessnock residents will soon be able to get around the CBD and surrounding areas a little easier with state funding announced for a network of shared pathways.

Council has secured a $1.5 million dollar state grant to be used to construct more than 3 kilometres of shared path linking the CBD with two public schools, sporting complexes and community centres.

Mayor Bob Pynsent says it's fantastic news which will improve connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians.
