Cycling, Walking & Wheeling Forum

Thank you for your interest in our Cycling, Walking and Wheeling Forum.

Active travel has never had a higher profile, nationally and locally. We all want to maximise the well-documented health, economic, and climate benefits of encouraging the switch from single occupancy car journeys to more active and sustainable modes of travel.

As a council, supported by Active Travel England, we are reaching out to our communities and stakeholders in the world of active travel. We want to hear from the many individuals, advocacy groups, residents, and professionals with a keen interest in Active Travel to ensure the schemes we introduce are effective and useful.

We’re eager to hear your experiences and suggestions, which is why the Forum has been set up to allow a two-way flow of information. While this isn’t a formal consultation process, there will be an opportunity to hear updates from us about our:

• • Active and sustainable travel agenda
  • New and existing schemes
  • Choose How You Move behaviour change programme
  • Cycling and Walking Strategy; and
  • Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans.

We are currently in the process of setting the date for the next meeting. It will be in the next couple of months but we are keen to make sure the meeting date corresponds with other announcements about schemes and the latest funding position. We want the Forum attendees to be in a position to be informed about wider events and developments at the earliest opportunity and we will set the meeting date around that .Once the date is set we will be in contact in the usual way. 

if you have any questions in the meantime, please contact activetravelforum@leics.gov.uk 

Thanks for your continued interest and support for active travel.
