Walking and cycling are two of the most promising activities for addressing the current environmental challenges, promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring a sustainable future for the generations to come. The Government’s ambition is to make walking and cycling the natural choices, not only for shorter journeys, but also for longer journeys with the combination of other modes of transportation. Furthermore, transforming local areas in ways that support active travel will reduce congestion, improve physical and mental health and support local economies, aligning with the Government’s sustainable vision.
Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIP) have been developed by the Department for Transport (DfT) for local and regional authorities to take a strategic approach in improving walking and cycling infrastructure and encourage a shift away from motorised vehicles.
The three key outputs of an LCWIP are:
a network plan for walking and cycling, which identifies preferred routes and core zones
a prioritised programme of infrastructure improvements for future investment, and
a report which sets out the underlying analysis carried out and provides a narrative which supports the identified improvements and network.
Cornwall Council have secured state funding as part of the Local Authority Capability Fund to support the commitments made in the Government’s Cycling and Walking Plan. AECOM are supporting Cornwall Council and Cormac in developing separate LCWIPs for the following areas:
Camborne, Pool, Illogan and Redruth (CPIR),
Falmouth & Penryn,
Newquay, and
Penzance & Newlyn.
More information on the LCWIP guidelines and the methodology followed to identify walking and cycling routes can be found at:
Consultation on the proposed networks has now closed and results are being analysed.

Having your feedback before finalising this LCWIP is important as your local experience will add value to the work that has already been undertaken.
After reviewing the individual walking and cycling routes, please provide us with your views on the entire walking and cycling networks and whether you identify any gaps.

Newquay Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan has finished this stage
Since the beginning of this work, we have:
Organised Steering Group and Stakeholder meetings to engage local councillors and key stakeholders in the process
Reviewed national, regional and local policies
Identified trip generators in the area
Mapped the current transport network, including walking and cycling, public transport and highway to identify gaps
Understood current travel patterns
Identified collision hot spots
Considered physical constraints, such as topography, risk of flooding and air quality
Undertook site visits to enhance our knowledge of the local conditions
Presented initial thoughts to key stakeholders
Identified priority walking and cycling routes
Sought stakeholder feedback and revised routes
Received and analysed your feedback
Undertook street audits to assess the quality of existing provision
Revised the identified walking and cycling routes
Confirmed the walking and cycling routes with key stakeholders
What is currently happening
Newquay Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan is currently at this stage
We are producing the final reports with the aim to disseminate the methods that were employed and the analysis that was undertaken to develop this LCWIP.
What next
this is an upcoming stage for Newquay Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan
Implementation of the proposed LCWIP is subject to the priorities of the Cornwall Council.
