The assessment of requests and identification of schemes to encourage cycling.
The County Council is allocated funding by the Government, via our Local Transport Plan settlement, for what are known as 'integrated transport' measures, which are schemes principally intended to reduce accidents and encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport. This is in line with the Government's objectives of reducing traffic growth by promoting alternative forms of transport and reducing road accident casualties, for which there are a number of national targets.
The assessment process for schemes to encourage walking and cycling incorporates criteria and factors that relate directly to the County Council and the Government's transport objectives, priorities and targets and provides an evaluation of the local highway environmental and the need for a scheme. This enables requests to be prioritised.
Requests for cycle facilities should be made in writing.
