Bucks Council's proposed travel plan for High Wycombe has been released - and they want your views on it.
They have developed a draft Transport Strategy and a draft Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for High Wycombe.
The High Wycombe 2050 Transport Strategy sets the ambition for the town’s transport system. It consists of:
a vision statement
three ‘Connecting’ themes, each with a set of key outcomes
26 transport schemes
Their vision is: “By 2050, High Wycombe will be among the best connected and most innovative towns in the Thames Valley, where all journeys, from start to finish, are low emission, seamless, and safe for everyone”.
The High Wycombe Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) is a supporting plan to the draft High Wycombe 2050 Transport Strategy. It focuses on walking and cycling.
The High Wycombe LCWIP aims to recommend ways to make cycling and walking in the High Wycombe area safe, accessible and attractive for all users. It consists of:
a future walking and cycling network covering High Wycombe and links to surrounding areas
5 concepts to identify interventions to improve cycling and walking networks
