£100,000 was committed to cycling routes in Sidmouth in 2013 - from S106 funds:

Sidmouth

There are projects going on to spend £250,000 of sports money and over £100,000 of play money that is available in Sidmouth. All of this funding has come from new homes created in Sidmouth, called section 106 agreements. 
These are joint projects with Sidmouth Town Council.

In 2013 we gathered in ideas from the community on how £250,000 of section 106 money from new homes in Sidmouth should be spent. We received nine eligible, affordable and possible ideas from the community and from sporting organisations. These were added to two strategic town council projects. 
443 residents of Sidmouth voted on which of the proposals should be funded. The successful ideas were: 

• Improvements to cycling around Sidmouth. A cycle route linking some residential areas with the Woolbrook area, in particular to allow easier cycling to school and college. Including improved cycle parking at the schools and local shops. It might be the first part of a future Sidmouth to Feniton cycle route. £100,000.
  Update: This is being progressed by Devon County Council who are in charge of cycleways.
