People are being invited to give their views and thoughts on how cycling and walking provision can be improved on the Whitehaven coast.
Cumbria County Council has launched a consultation to help shape plans to improve the infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians.
They want your feedback on the existing cycling and walking infrastructure, and your thoughts on where improvements to active travel routes could be made.
It is the ambition of Cumbria County Council to get more people cycling and walking in Cumbria and that cycling and walking should be the natural choice for everyday short journeys. Cycling and walking more often is good for our health and wellbeing, the environment and the local economy.
Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) are being developed to enhance facilities for cyclists and pedestrians in a number of towns in Cumbria. Consultations are now taking place for Workington, Whitehaven and Penrith.
In Whitehaven, the proposals include the Coast to Coast cycleway (C2C – National Cycle Network 72). This route already provides north to south connectivity in Whitehaven. Plans are to upgrade infrastructure along this cycleway to support increased usage.
