Eastleigh Borough Council Cycling Strategy 2006-2011

This Cycling Strategy is subject to approval by Cabinet in January 2007. A draft Cycling Strategy was published in the summer of 2006 for public consultation and comments were considered and incorporated into this document.

Eastleigh Borough Council has had a Cycling Strategy with a sustained commitment to encourage cycling for over fifteen years. In 1990, the Council produced its first Cycling Strategy. This added impetus to existing cycling initiatives and aimed to do more to provide for the need of cyclists, making it a safer more attractive mode of transport. The updated strategy is a revision of the 1998 Strategy incorporating current central government and additional sources guidance.

The main aims of the 2006-2011 Cycling Strategy are:

•         to increase the modal share of cycling and walking;
•         to continually improve the cycling infrastructure;
•         to increase the safety of cycling and security of cyclists and their cycles.
