WEST Devon Borough Council wants to hear from you about cycling and walking opportunities across the Borough.
The Council is developing a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) as one of its priorities to support communities, help improve community well-being 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.
The Council is launching a consultation from today (September 18) to October 11 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.”
Public events on the consultation will take place on:
Monday, September 23 from 10am to 1pm at Tavistock Town Hall and from 2pm to 5pm at Ockment Centre in the Believer Room in Okehampton.
