Engagement has concluded.

The Department for Transport (DfT) launched its Cycle and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) in April 2017, (updated in 2021). The strategy outlines Government’s ambition ‘to make cycling and walking the natural choices for shorter journeys or as part of a longer journey’. Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) set out the strategic approach to identifying long-term cycling and walking improvements and make the case for future investment through funding bids and by informing discussions with developers and have helped Gloucestershire to secure £40m of investment.

Maps:

We are now looking at the Bishop’s Cleeve area. The maps below show proposed networks for cycling and walking corridors that we would like your feedback on.

[Note – these are routes that should become good walking and cycling routes to link where people want to go – not necessarily the best links at the moment] 

  • Primary cycle routes are shown in red. These show cycling corridors that access a key service centre such as a town centre with shops and employment.
  • Secondary cycle routes are in blue. These link primary routes to education and employment sites.
  • Local cycle routes are in purple. These cater for cycle trips between primary and secondary routes
  • Walking routes to school, work, shops and other services are shown in green.

How to respond:

Are these the best routes to improve for walking and cycling? Are there any key issues on these routes that need fixing?

You can add your comments to the map below by selecting 'go to map'. To leave comments, use the + icon in the map legend on the left, and chose a topic. You can then drag the pin to the area you are taking about and type your comments in the pop up box.

There will also be events where residents will be able to talk to officers, suggest improvements that should be made, and find out more about cycling in their area. These will be held at:

  • Bishops Cleeve Library between 3pm and 7pm on Thursday 26 January (in person drop-in event)
  • Online event (via Microsoft Teams) between 6pm and 7pm on Thursday 9 February – for more information and to register click here.

Further information:

Published plans are available to download here: www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/lcwip

We will continue to update and refine the approach to developing infrastructure plans in response to Department for Transport evaluation of the CWIS process and currently anticipate that moving forward, the LCWIP will be informed by urban centres and strategic allocations across the county.

In addition, an overarching plan is being written to look at areas outside urban centres.
