Oxfordshire County Council are in the process of developing the Wantage and Grove Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).
OCC are currently looking for thoughts and suggestions on where there are issues or concerns for cycling and walking facilities in the Wantage and Grove area. Your suggestions on where improvements could be made are also extremely important.
You can add your comments to this interactive map by dragging and dropping pins.
Think about what elements are important to you? Are there safety concerns along any of the routes? Is the route broken or damaged in any way or is something missing? What would you like to see more of?
Deadline
The exercise will close for comments on Thursday 19 September.
What is a LCWIP?
LCWIPs were introduced by the Department for Transport (DfT) in 2017, alongside their Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, as a framework with which local authorities can ‘develop strategic plans to improve conditions for cycling and walking, in order to support increases in travel on foot and bicycle’, by:
- understanding existing and future travel patterns, and the barriers and enablers to increasing cycling and walking
- identifying and mapping a recommended cycling network and core walking zones that will become the primary focus for infrastructure improvements
- creating a prioritised pipeline of enhancements to ensure infrastructure effectively supports growth in cycling and walking, and contributes towards meeting broader local goals’ (DfT, 2017)
