Have your say on our Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan

Overview

We invite your comments and views on the draft Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).

We are now seeking input on our LCWIP, outlining proposed initiatives to enhance the safety and convenience of walking, wheeling, or cycling. This initiative aims to encourage residents and visitors to consider more active modes of transportation.

Background

There is a national ambition to promote cycling and walking for shorter journeys. Expanding non-motorized transportation options contributes to reducing traffic, alleviating congestion, enhancing air quality, and improving overall physical and mental health. Additionally, it increases access to education and employment opportunities.

LCWIPs mark the initial phase in identifying potential schemes, paving the way for the establishment of integrated walking and cycling networks. We have formulated LCWIPs for [Town/City Names], with a plan for [City/Region] scheduled for consultation later this year.

The proposals are in the early stages of development, providing a preliminary overview of achievable goals.

This consultation pertains to the LCWIP for [Town/City]. Establishing an LCWIP for [Town/City] will:

• Provide a list of the outcomes.

More detailed information is available in the following technical report and appendices:

• Draft [Town/City] LCWIP – Technical Report
• Appendix A – Plans
• Appendix B – RST Example
• Appendix C – WRAT Example
• Appendix D – Design Recommendations Booklet
• Appendix E – Costings

What happens next

We will thoroughly review the feedback received during the consultation and use it to finalise the document before presenting it to our decision-making body for approval.

Subsequent to the consultation, the next phase involves conducting feasibility design for the proposals to understand what is achievable in a specific area. Further stakeholder and public consultations will be conducted on a scheme-by-scheme basis as we refine the plans in more detail.
