Working with Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils, we’re aiming to provide high quality infrastructure to ensure the West of England is a region where cycling and walking are the preferred choice for shorter trips.
A consultation on the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan ran from the 3rd of February 2020 until the 15th of March 2020.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their views during the consultation. Your responses to the questionnaire will be considered in the development of future plans for active travel in the region.
