The Government has invited local transport authorities to publish Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) to help deliver their Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) which aims to deliver:
- Better Safety - A safe and reliable way to travel for short journeys
- Better Mobility - More people cycling and walking – easy, normal and enjoyable
- Better Streets - Places that have cycling and walking at their heart
The revised 2021 version of the LCWIP was reported to the county council’s Prosperous Select Committee on 15 April 2021 and will be pivotal in helping the county council to continue to make the case future walking and cycling funding.
Around £31m of investment is required up to 2030/31 on the priority cycle networks and core walking zones in Burton upon Trent, Cannock, Lichfield, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford and Tamworth. The 200 potential schemes identified in the LCWIP have been allocated for short, medium or long-term delivery during this period.
