Active travel has never had a higher profile, nationally and locally. We all want to maximise the well-documented health and economic benefits of encouraging the switch from single occupancy car journeys to more active and sustainable modes of travel. The Cycling, Walking and Wheeling Forum highlights these developments in Leicestershire, from decision makers such as Leicestershire County Council, the Choose How You Move team, and more.
Next forum: coming soon
As a council, supported by Active Travel England, we are reaching out to our communities and stakeholders in the world of active travel. We want to hear from the many individuals, advocacy groups, residents, and professionals with a keen interest in active travel to ensure the schemes we introduce are effective and useful.
We want the Cycling, Walking and Wheeling Forum to be accessible to everyone, which is why we stage the Forum as an in-person and online event.
We’re eager to hear your experiences and suggestions. The Forum allows a two-way flow of information: although it isn’t a formal consultation process, there will be an opportunity to hear updates during presentations, networking opportunities and workshops. Plus we’ll be hearing your questions and feedback.
Leicestershire Big Travel Survey
Included in the Forum will be the chance to take part in our new Big Travel Survey – it will help Leicestershire County Council better understand how people get around in their everyday lives, including how they travel to healthcare, education, shops, leisure activities and workplaces.
