Consultation
Following the adoption of the Walking and Cycling Strategy, Milton Keynes Council has now developed the strategic active travel infrastructure plan – Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP). The plan was developed by the consultant City Science and the Transport Policy Team, in line with Department for Transport Technical Guidance for LCWIPs.
In January 2021, town, ward and parish councillors had the opportunity to put forward specific local schemes that should be included in the plan. Close to a hundred schemes have been put forward and reviewed as part of a long list of a total of three hundred schemes. All schemes have been reviewed, evaluated and scored against a bespoke appraisal criteria, designed with the support of key stakeholders, such as cycling forum members. This has resulted in the draft LCWIP, which sets out an ambitious vision for improving and expanding active travel infrastructure within the Milton Keynes borough.
