Medway: Consultation on cycling and walking infrastructure

Medway Council is asking residents to comment on its plans for its walking and cycling infrastructure

Residents are being encouraged to have their say on the future of Medway's cycling and walking infrastructure.

A six-week consultation on the council's plans has begun.

Medway Council's local cycling and walking infrastructure plan (LCWIP) will act as a framework for improvements over the next 10 years.

The council said: "We want to ensure we get the valuable insight from residents to ensure improvements are delivered where they are most needed."

A council spokesman said: "The aim behind our LCWIP is to create a long-term plan that looks at how best to improve the walking and cycling network across Medway and also takes the varying accessibility needs of residents into account."

Councillor Simon Curry, from Medway Council, said: "I would encourage all residents to take a look at these proposals and have their say on what improvements are needed to help make active travel the first choice.

"It is really important we have this long-term plan in place, which will also help attract more funding to deliver improvements across out network."

The consultation runs until 3 March.
