Cycling

Cycling is a healthy, non-polluting and efficient travel choice. Our aim is to encourage more people to choose cycling for everyday travel by making this a safer, more attractive way to get around the Borough.

Cycle facilities are important in the promotion of cycling. Through our Local Transport Plan, the Council is working towards a safe and convenient network of cycle routes to cater for a wide variety of journeys. We are also working with partner organisations to ensure that cycle parking is provided at key destinations such as: town centres; local shops; hospitals; leisure centres; railway stations; schools; and workplaces.

The Council is working with schools, hospitals, businesses and other organisations to encourage cycling as part of travel plans. We encourage the provision of on-site facilities, changes to policy and improvements to terms and conditions that support and promote cycling for the school run and commuting trips as well as visitor and business travel.

The Council offers Bikeability training for children in Years 5 and 6, giving them the skills necessary to be able to cycle safely and independently. We also provide advice on appropriate use of cycle safety equipment and security measures.

If you require any information on cycling or if you have any suggestions for how we can improve conditions for cyclists, please contact the Transport Policy Team:
