REASON FOR DECISION

 

The report presents the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) with a view to the council adopting it as the strategic plan for Active Travel over the next 10-15 years. The LCWIP enables a long-term approach to developing strategic active travel connections between key origins/destinations and forms a vital part of the Government’s strategy to make walking, wheeling and cycling the natural choices for shorter journeys, or as part of a longer journey.

 

Getting more people to walk and cycle will help respond to the Climate Emergency, tackle congestion on our roads and achieve the ambition of our Corporate Delivery Plan to make Wokingham Borough a great place to live, learn, work and grow and a great place to do business.

Wards Affected: None Specific;
