How many km of road (or miles or any measure that you keep) have been constructed within your boundary in each of the past five years?
Reliable data on date of construction of new roads is not held, except for new roads infrastructure constructed by private developers for residential and commercial developments.
2020/21 Section 38 adoptions = 4.3km but data still being added as information is released by developers.
2019/20 Section 38 adoptions = 10.8km
2018/19 Section 38 adoptions = 11.9km
2017/18 Section 38 adoptions = 13.5km
2016/17 Section 38 adoptions = 15km
How many km of the roads (or miles or any measure that you keep) listed in answer 1 included a cycle lane provision – please give brief details of each provision (i.e ‘cycle path along entire stretch of new road’)
No information is held on whether any of the above roads have cycleways incorporated within them.
How many cycle ways have been constructed, separate from roads, for each of the past five years – please include their length and a brief description.
Reliable information not held on date of construction.
Cycleways added to National Street Gazetteer System by year:-
2020/21 Cycleways = 1.7km
2019/20 Cycleways = 60.8km
2018/19 Cycleways = 0.9km
2017/18 Cycleways = 0km
2016/17 Cycleways = 2km
How much has been spent on new cycling infrastructure (i.e new cycle paths) in each of the past five years.
Our capital expenditure on walking and cycling over the past 5 years is as follows:
2020/21: £6.229m (budget rather than spend as 2020/21 accounts are yet to be audited)
2019/20: £3.471m
2018/19: £3.225m
2017/18: £5.683m
2016/17: £4.817m
We only hold the total budget/spend on active travel (walking and cycling) and do not have the breakdown, for instance separating out feasibility design from actual delivery of infrastructure.
