Establish the geographical extent of the LCWIP, and arrangements for governing and preparing the plan.

Determining scope

Identify existing patterns of walking and cycling and potential new journeys. Review existing conditions and identify barriers to cycling and  walking.  Review  related  transport  and  land  use  policies  and  programmes.

Gathering information

Identify origin and destination points and cycle flows. Convert flows into a network of routes and determine the type of improvements required.

Network planning for cycling

Identify  key  trip  generators,  core  walking  zones  and  routes,  audit  existing  provision  and  determine  the  type  of  improvements  required.

Network planning for walking

Prioritise improvements to develop a phased programme for future investment. The current engagement forms part of this stage, and will be used to review the work conducted to date. 

Prioritisation of improvements

Integrate   outputs   into   local   planning   and   transport   policies,   strategies, and delivery plans.

Integration and Application

Hampshire County Council (HCC) and Basingstoke and Deane Borough (BDBC) want to invest in sustainable transport measures, including walking and cycling. A Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) helps identify priority walking areas and cycling routes for investment.

We collaborated with local people such as cycling groups, schools, councillors, community groups and members of the public, and we want to hear from you to continue shaping the plan.
