Your opinion matters on active travel in Essex

Residents are invited to give their views on Safer, Greener, Healthier cycling and walking networks in Essex.

The views of Essex residents are needed to guide and inform the future direction of strategy to encourage active travel in the county, and to achieve this a consultation has been launched today.

Views of residents in Basildon, Braintree, Chelmsford and Colchester are particularly welcome.

Published today as part of the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP), the consultation will run until 7 April 2021 and is the first stage of a process to implement local cycling and walking networks across the county.

Only views on the overarching network of routes are being sought at this stage, not on specific infrastructure enhancements. Further consultations will follow in May on specific proposals in the four towns as part of the Active Travel Fund (ATF) schemes.
