Have Your Say on Local Walking and Cycling Improvements

We’d love to hear your ideas for walking and cycling facilities in your area.

By taking part in this survey, you can help identify routes, connections, and areas that may need improvement for people who walk, wheel, or cycle. Your feedback will help us better understand the issues experienced by local residents and support efforts to make everyday journeys safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable for everyone.

Your views will help shape East Riding's next Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs).

You have until 20th September 2026 to let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing your ideas.

Personally like the idea, mostly because it gives a really positive ans strong vision for the future for the wider region.

Consultation on a new Local Plan is under way in Hull – the blueprint that will shape development, transport, housing, and public spaces across the city until 2045. For anyone who believes that walking, cycling and wheeling are at the heart of creating safer streets, cleaner air and healthier communities, this is one of the best chances to have your say in a generation.

In the first part of the consultation, residents are being asked about the priorities and areas that should be considered in the Local Plan, with further consultation taking place next year, before the Plan is finalised in 2029.

But this preliminary stage is still vitally important, as it sets the scope for what the Local Plan should include. We think that active travel should be high up the agenda.

Fill in the survey by Tuesday, August 26.

Active travel is key to tackling Hull’s biggest challenges This first survey asks residents to prioritise safer local areas, cleaner air, improved public transport, thriving centres, healthier communities, and attractive developments. These goals are much easier to achieve with high-quality active travel provision.

More people walking and cycling means less congestion on our road network. It means lower emissions, better public health, stronger local shops, and more sociable neighbourhoods. Active travel isn’t a niche concern – it’s a foundation for a fairer, greener, more resilient city.

Fill in the survey by Tuesday, August 26.

The current Local Plan isn’t fit for purpose Despite positive mentions of walking and cycling, the existing Local Plan lacks the tools to deliver real change:

No coherent, protected city-wide active travel network – many routes remain advisory, shared, or simply stop at difficult junctions.
Weak standards for new developments, allowing car-dominated estates with poor permeability and indirect routes.
Insufficient integration between active travel and public transport, limiting safe access to bus corridors and mobility hubs.
Outdated parking and street design policies that continue to favour vehicles over people.
No clear modal shift targets or delivery milestones, meaning progress is slow and inconsistent.

You can change this Consultation on the new Local Plan specifically asks for views on improved walking and cycling routes, healthy local areas, cleaner air, safe streets, good access to shops and services, and well-designed developments. These are not abstract ideas – they are the building blocks of a city designed for people, not just cars.

By completing the survey, you can help ensure the new Local Plan delivers:

A protected, continuous active travel network built to modern standards.
Mandatory active travel requirements for all new developments.
Proper integration with public transport and mobility hubs.
Street and parking policies that prioritise walking, cycling, and wheeling.
Measurable targets and timelines for increasing active travel.

Take action today The consultation closes on 26 August 2026. Completing the basic survey takes only a few minutes, but its influence will last for decades.

One day they appeared. Now it seems like they disappeared overnight again. Anyone knows?

Luckily for us, the council has completely given up on cycling and walking and is pouring all efforts into becoming as attractive to Motorist-Boomers on Facebook as possible./s
