Cycling and Walking: Infrastructure

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the effectiveness of Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans in delivering their goals.

Answer: The Department is currently piloting a programme of support to assist 46 local authorities with the development of Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs).
