Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan

Following publication of the Government’s Cycle and Walking Investment Strategy, a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) prepared by Basingstoke and Deane, Hampshire County Council and with support from the active travel charity ‘Sustrans’ was introduced in March 2023.

The Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) can be viewed on Hampshire County Council website.

The LCWIP sets out a recommended approach for planning networks of walking zones and cycling routes connecting the places people want to go such as for work, education and shopping.

Recognising the significant benefits that active travel provides, the implementation of this plan will support residents in pursuing more active lifestyles and, with reduced car use leading to a reduction in air pollution, it is expected to attract additional health benefits through improved air quality.
