The Active Travel Hierarchy looks to introduce a way of prioritising maintenance activities to better reflect the use of the highway network by walkers, cyclists and other non-motorised traffic. This will support the Council’s Active Travel Strategy and its ambition to make walking or cycling the natural choice for shorter journeys, in turn helping to reduce road traffic congestion, improve journey times, and contributing to carbon reduction in the County.
Cambs County Council would like to invite your feedback on the proposals, so that they can better understand which active travel routes and public rights of way are considered important by our communities, and what maintenance activities stakeholders might like us to prioritise.
This is a public consultation that is being promoted on the Council’s social media channels. We would also appreciate you promoting this consultation locally in your parish communities, to encourage wide participation, so we can gauge residents’ views.
The consultation is open for responses until Monday 16th September. The consultation can be accessed at this website link: https://consultcambs.uk.engagementhq.com/active-travel-hierarchy. Please feel free to circulate this link amongst your local residents.
