LCWIPs "The Cabinet for the Council has recommended that the ‘Bay Area Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan’, the ‘Bembridge, Brading & St Helens Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan’, and the ‘East Cowes & Whippingham Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan’ to be adopted as Supplementary Planning Documents. (SPD) It is suggesting to amend and then adopt the Cowes, Northwood & Gurnard Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) 116 comments were received." The above is great news so when the full council meets it will formally adopt the LCWIPs as Council policy. Over half of the comments were about the Cowes LCWIP. There was great concern raised over Cowes High Street in particular. This was a very well orchestrated campaign and reminds us that it is important for members to make cyclists' views heard. Some of the concerns raised were valid but do not see change as an opportunity to make things better by making the area more accessible. Any proposals in the LCWIPs will have to face further public scrutiny before they are built. Report on SPD/ LCWIPs is Here (An interesting Read)
