Cycling Strategy

The Cycling Strategy forms part of the Local Transport Plan 2006/07-2010/11 Long Term Strategy document (published in March 2006). The new cycling strategy is a revision to the adopted policy and is more prescriptive in terms of policy statements, providing more detail on how Hertfordshire County Council will implement the cycling strategy. Its primary purpose is to encourage more people to cycle more often, and involve and support other stakeholders in doing the same. The new strategy was endorsed by members in February 2007.

The cycling strategy has a range of audiences: the general public, cycling interest groups, developers and their agents and other key stakeholders as well as those elected members and officers of the county, districts and boroughs who will be involved in the implementation of the strategy.

The strategy is also supported by the following documents;

• Cycle Parking Guide;
• Cycling Monitoring Guidance (This document has been split into Parts 1-3 due to its large file size).

which are attached below.

The original Cycling Strategy in the Long Term Strategy was subject to the full Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process in 2005/06. As the County Council is only revising policy it is not necessary to undertake the SEA process again, but carrying out a sustainability appraisal on the new cycling strategy is sufficient. Attached below is a copy of the Sustainability Appraisal Report.
