Minutes:

The Executive was informed that Surrey County Council (SCC) was working with the borough and district authorities in Surrey to produce Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIP).  SCC had requested a total funding contribution of up to £190,000 to support the production of a LCWIP for Surrey Heath.  The LCWIP would help to deliver significant benefits to walking and cycling routes in the Borough.

 

Members considered the report and emphasised the need to ensure appropriate governance arrangements for the final decision-making on routes. Members also identified the need, when drafting the LCWIP, to follow government requirements regarding direct routes, consider possibilities for routes that crossed into adjoining authority areas, and monitor where funding had already been agreed for specific routes.
