What are LCWIPs?
Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) are a strategic approach to identifying cycling and walking improvements required at a local level. They enable a long-term approach to developing active travel networks and form a vital part of the Government’s strategy to increase the number of trips made on foot or by cycle. LCWIPs are instrumental in leveraging funding from national and local funding streams.
LCWIPs are intended to:
- Plan for cycling and walking using evidence and data on existing and potential future demand
- Plan cycling and walking networks that meet core design outcomes and the needs of users
- Target investment where it can have the greatest impact
- Identify cycling and walking infrastructure improvements in readiness for funding bids
