Q1. Please provide the total number of cycling lanes that exist in your council over the past three-year period:

* 2020
* 2021
We do not hold this information
Q2. Please state the total number of cycle lanes currently in planning or under development in your council:
* Currently being planned
* Currently in development
We do not hold a figure for the “number of cycle lanes” currently in planning or under development, as cycle schemes typically comprise a package of different interventions. However, our priorities for developing the cycle network are set out in the Cycling and Multi-Use Trail Strategy, whilst schemes planned for delivery this financial year are set out in the September 2021 Cabinet report on the Transport Capital Programme.
Q3. If possible, please provide the total number of miles of cycling lanes you have within your council in total at present:
| Type of cycle route | Total length (miles) |
|---|---|
| Traffic-free routes | 225 |
| On-road cycle lanes | 33 |
| Advisory cycle routes | 503 |
| Bridleways | 757 |
| Byways | 71 |
| Total | 1,588 |
| Total excluding Public Rights of Way (Bridleways and Byways) | 761 |
