We want to hear from you about cycling and walking opportunities across the Borough.
We're developing a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) as one of our priorities to support communities, help improve community wellbeing and fight against climate change by promoting greener journeys.
An LCWIP looks at cycling and walking in an area and aims to identify what could be done to encourage more people to cycle, walk and 'wheel' (for those using wheelchairs, mobility scooters or other wheeled mobility aids) on journeys in their area.
We're launching a consultation from today (18 September) to 11 October on walking and cycling in West Devon and is inviting people to take part and have their say.
Cllr Jane Elliott, Lead Member for Community Wellbeing, said: “We all know how important activity is to our physical and emotional wellbeing. The LCWIP will help West Devon Borough Council plan and provide new opportunities for people to travel actively in the areas they live and enjoy more active lives.”
We’re holding the following public events on the consultation:
Monday 23 September
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. – Tavistock Town Hall
2 p.m. to 5 p.m. - Ockment Centre in Okehampton, Bellever Room
