Buckinghamshire begins implementing Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan for promoting non-vehicular commuting
Buckinghamshire Adopts Comprehensive Active Travel Plan
Buckinghamshire Council has taken a significant step forward in promoting sustainable transportation, as they recently adopted a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP). The plan, which proposes a network of corridors suitable for cycling, walking, wheeling, and other modes of transport, aims to provide residents with safe, viable, and accessible travel options.
Steven Broadbent, the deputy leader of Buckinghamshire Council, expressed his delight at the approval of the Buckinghamshire LCWIP. This approval marks the beginning of a long-term strategy for active travel infrastructure in the county.
The LCWIP corridors may include new or improved off-road routes, routes alongside roads, or crossing points, all designed to connect towns, villages, employment, education, public transport, local facilities, and visitor attractions. The plan does not serve as a prescriptive list of schemes for development, allowing for flexibility in its implementation.
Following approval, Buckinghamshire will undertake further work to establish how these corridors could be created. Funding for the LCWIP may come from national sources or developers. More information about the funding for these projects is yet to be disclosed.
In a related development, Buckinghamshire has been awarded more than £2m to spend on developing further active travel projects and infrastructure in the county. The source of this funding is not currently available in the provided search results.
The adoption of the LCWIP comes at an opportune time, as Buckinghamshire is set to be recognised at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards. This event, an unmissable gathering for the UK's transportation sector, will take place at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London on November 25, 2025. The fourth annual CiTTi Awards will recognise achievements and innovations in active travel. More information about the CiTTi Awards can be found at www.cittiawards.co.uk.
As Buckinghamshire moves forward with its active travel plans, residents can look forward to a more connected and sustainable county, with safer and more accessible travel options for all.
