West Devon Borough Council has launched a public consultation for their draft Local Cycling and Walking Plan (LCWIP). An LCWIP is put together with the aim of creating long-term networks and routes for everyday walking and cycling. 

Would you like to cycle and walk more? What is stopping you from doing that right now?  To learn more and comment on the public consultation please click the link below:

Following the identification of key desire lines, 10 routes for improvement are proposed as part of the LCWIP. This aims to focus investment on corridors identified as having high demand or are forecasted to have high potential for active travel. The LCWIP does not include detailed plans for every route or identify every aspiration for active travel improvements across the county. The routes are set out in an east-to-west order, relative to their geography:

·         Route 1: Tarka Trail (Knowle to Willingcott)

·         Route 2: Ruby Way (Holsworthy to Hatherleigh)

·         Route 3: Clearbrook to Roborough

·         Route 4: Yealmpton to Newton Ferrers

·         Route 5: Ashburton to Buckfastleigh

·         Route 6: Boniface Trail

·         Route 7: Teign Estuary Trail

·         Route 8: Otter Trail

·         Route 9: Sidbury to Sidford

·         Route 10: Beer to Axminster and Uplyme

The current engagement period is a chance for the public and stakeholders to feedback on the proposed routes and propose alternative routes for consideration.

Full details about the engagement process, and all of the proposals, will be available on our website: devon.cc/devon-lcwip. The engagement period will close on Saturday 30 November.

We would like to speak to you as a stakeholder who may have a particular interest in the LCWIP or a route within it. We plan to hold a stakeholder specific webinar on Wednesday 30 October at 15:30. This will be held via Microsoft Teams, and will consist of a presentation followed by an opportunity to speak to the project team and ask any questions you may have. If you would like to attend this event, please register here.
