Cycling Action Plan
The Cycling Action Plan builds on the Council’s strong record of delivering cycling infrastructure, cycle parking and cycle training, setting out a vision for the cycle network in the borough and actions to increase participation. The plan focuses on three key areas:
- Priority Cycle Network - establishing our ambition for the cycle network in the borough.
- Cycle Parking - development of the visitor and residential parking programme including a feasibility study into secure cycle parking hubs.
- Behavioural change – setting out how we will continue to support and enable new and existing cyclists in the borough through training, cycle repair and enforcement action against illegal e-bikes.
The Cycle Action Plan identifies 31 actions which are to be delivered in the short term (1 year), medium term (up to 2030) and long term (up to 2041). Priority short term actions include:
- Continual delivery of Cycleway 9 in partnership with TfL.
- Delivery of Priority Cycle Network – routes 5, 6 and 7.
- Development of a programme to remove access barriers.
- Prioritisation of cycle parking locations (both residential and on-street).
- Continual engagement with cycle hire operators to ensure good compliance.
- Explore further initiatives such as expansion of try before you bike, dedicated events and working with employers.
- Expansion of cycle training programme
