Cycling strategy

Appendix 2

Links with other strategies

This Strategy complements national and regional strategies which relate to cycling, such as:

  1. the national Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS): this sets out the Government’s ambition to increase cycling and walking activity; reduce the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured on England’s roads; increase the percentage of school children that walk to school, and includes the aim to double cycling by 2025 (cycling trips or cycling stages within other trips);
  2. the North East Transport Plan 2021-2035, and its vision for ‘moving to a green, healthy, dynamic and dynamic North East’
  3. the North East ‘Making the Right Travel Choice’ Strategy, which aims to make it easier for local people to make more sustainable journeys such as journeys on foot, by bike or using public transport.
     

In addition, it links with other strategies and plans at North Tyneside level, notably

  1. Cycling Design Guidance;

  2. Transport and Highways Supplementary Planning Document (SPD);

  3. the North Tyneside Highway Asset Management Plan (HAMP), which covers maintenance of the highway network including cycleways and footways;

  4. the North Tyneside Travel Safety Strategy;

  5. the North Tyneside Network Management Plan; and

  6. the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
