Purpose

This
report, and the Executive Summary set out at Appendix 'A', outline
the requirements for the development of Local Cycling & Walking
Infrastructure Plans and the subsequent development of seven Local
Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan documents for
Lancashire.
 
At
this stage, the documents set out broad cycle corridors and walking
zones only, within a broad network.  In
the future the corridors and zones will provide the focus for
further work to define detailed routes and locations for active
travel infrastructure across the county.
 
The
broad corridors and zones also provide a focus for securing future
investment for delivery of infrastructure – such as from
developer contributions or external grants.  It is at this future funding stage that the detail
of the broad routes and zones will be defined.
 
Consultation and extended stakeholder engagement has taken place
to make best use of local knowledge to help inform the proposed
broad network – which itself was prepared following a
prescribed methodology from the Department for
Transport.
 
This
is deemed to be a Key Decision and the requirements of Standing
Order C18 have been complied with.
