People are being asked to share their thoughts about Hull's cycling and walking routes.

Hull City Council wants feedback on its 10-year Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).

The scheme identifies problems with the current travel network and proposes solutions.

Drop-in sessions will be held and people have until 8 August to complete an online survey.

Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure, said the LCWIP supports bids for government funding.

He said: "We are keen to understand people's walking and cycling habits and their attitudes towards the proposed LCWIP."

The plan, seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, proposes investment to boost the following walking routes:

  • Anlaby Road

  • Hessle Road

  • St George's Road

  • Boulevard

  • Woodcock Street / Gordon Street / Cholmley Street

Officials also identified the following key cycling routes used by commuters:

  • Clough Road

  • Preston Road

  • Freetown Way

  • Marfleet Lane

  • Cleveland Street

  • Sutton Fields

  • Kingswood

  • Hessle Road

  • Sutton Road

  • Hawthorn Avenue to Ferensway

  • Chanterlands Avenue

  • Holderness Drain

Further information about drop-in events will be published by the council later. The online survey can be found here, external.
