Hull City Council has launched an eight-week engagement exercise to seek the feedback of residents, businesses and communities on its Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) 2025-2035.
The plan identifies gaps in the city’s active travel network and proposes to invest in these over the next 10 years, as funding becomes available.
The LCWIP acts as a plan for future schemes, identifying cycling and walking improvements required in local areas.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, cabinet portfolio holder for transport and Infrastructure at Hull City Council, said: “Having an LCWIP in place is hugely important to the council, as it supports us in bidding for funding and is one of the considerations the Government makes when allocating money for active travel.
“To ensure our plan meets the aspirations of the city, we are keen to understand people’s walking and cycling habits and their attitudes towards the proposed LCWIP as well as seeking feedback on whether residents, businesses and communities agree with the council’s overall approach and the areas of the network identified for schemes to be delivered.”
The LCWIP proposes investment in five walking routes in Hull, where footfall is high and there are links to the hospital and local schools, including:
- Anlaby Road
- Hessle Road
- St George’s Road
- Boulevard
- Woodcock Street / Gordon Street / Cholmley Street
Twelve cycling routes that are used by many people commuting to and from places of work, and together form a core network across the city, including:
- Clough Road
- Preston Road
- Freetown Way
- Marfleet
- Cleveland Street
- Sutton Fields
- Kingswood
- Hessle Road
- Sutton Ings
- Thornton
- Hull to Cottingham
- Holderness Drain
Six residential areas in the city that are close to things like schools and local amenities, where it is possible to provide travel options for short journeys or combine walking and cycling with the use of public transport to make wider journeys:
- Bransholme / Kingswood
- The Avenues
- North Hull Estate / Orchard Park
- Preston Road Estates
- Thornton Estate
- Longhill Estate
