North Tyneside Council’s Cycling Strategy sets out how it will continue to help more people in the borough cycle more easily and often.
It is aimed at getting more people to take part in everyday cycling, which has a number of benefits for people’s health and the environment, and, wherever possible, improving the infrastructure of the borough to support the increasing popularity of cycling.
The Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP), which is an appendix to the strategy, is a detailed review and assessment of strategic cycling routes across the borough and links for walking and wheeling in town centres. The government encourages local authorities to prepare an LCWIP to attract and prioritise funding for active travel improvements.
The plan also aims to ensure that design guidance is in place so that the council’s infrastructure investment is in line with current and emerging best practice.
