Document Management

Policy/ Practice/ Procedure or Application to the Department for Transport Linking Service: Communities Fund (Cycling in the National Parks)

Business Unit: Sustainability Team

Manager: Chris Gregory

Date Published: 30th April 2013

Review date: 30th April 2014

1. What is the overall purpose and aim of the policy/project/practice or service?

The project will develop the New Forest National Park as a beacon area for family cycling through measures which will include: • The development of class leading family cycling centre adjacent to Brockenhurst rail station • A network of satellite transaction and release cycle docking stations at key attractions, communities and transport hubs around the forest. • An innovative pedal bus network which will serve key settlements and attractions to promote active travel to all age groups. • A match funded grant scheme for capital measures which deliver world class family cycling facilities at tourism businesses

The project will significantly grow the value of cycling to the local economy and encourage visitors and residents to make their journeys by bike around the National Park instead of cars. The project will deliver a fully integrated transport system for visitors arriving by bus or train to the Park.

The application is in response to the DfT Linking Communities Fund for National Parks. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cycling-in-national-parks-grants

Part 2. This only needs to be completed if you have stated that one of the groups identified above will be adversely affected by the policy or service.

Detailed Assessment In relation to (protected group), what do you know about the people who use your service/s? What evidence do you have and how does this compare to the profile of the community?

A person has a disability if s/he has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on that person’s ability to carry out day-to-day activities.

What negative/disproportionate impacts will this proposal have on protected group(s)? Some elements of the programme may become inaccessible to users with physical impairments unless action is taken. o The satellite docking station network will stock a range of mountain bikes which are not accessible to everyone. o The pedal buses used on the new network may not be accessible for everyone, however, reasonable adjustments will be incorporated into the design of the units to ensure inclusivity as appropriate.

In seeking to advance equality, promote good relations and improve access, what positive impacts could this proposal have on the protected group(s)? o The programme will make cycling more available to a wider range of people, through the provision of more bikes and a cycling visitors centre with skills training facilities. o The programme will further support the New Forest Inclusive Cycling project.

On the evidence you do have, if there is an adverse impact, what steps will be taken to remove/minimise it? Please complete the Action Plan.

All tenders for design, manufacture and construction of equipment are developed we will ensure each includes a specification about compliance with the Equality Act.

How will you know if the agreed actions have had the desired results? What monitoring and performance measures/indicators will be reported? We will monitor our target markets and seek feedback from users.

Who has been consulted with on this EIA and what were the comments made? We have consulted with the operators of New Forest Inclusive Cycling, an existing project providing cycling experiences for young people with disabilities and / or autism.

Appendix F

Links to the Two National Park Local Sustainable Transport Fund Programme

We recognise that our five projects will utilize capital funding to create new cycling assets. These will complement and enhance a range of capital schemes included with the Two National Parks Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) Programme covering a full range of sustainable transport modes.

The focus of the LSTF Programme is to achieve behaviour change through revenue funded measures, supported by small scale capital improvement where appropriate. The full LSTF bid document is available for download here1.

Capital measures for cycling in LSTF are focussed on developing and enhancing the existing network of routes in the National Park. A summary of the various measures is included below:-

New Forest Community Routes

Community Routes will create a more usable and better marketed existing network of routes for cyclists, walkers and horse-riders, both on and off road. Hampshire County Council and the National Park Authority are jointly leading the project which is all about improving existing routes which link settlements, thus providing a greater opportunity for residents and visitors to use sustainable modes.

Measures likely to be progressed through the LSTF Programme include carriageway markings, the concept of ‘shared streets’, surface improvements, signage, reduced speed limits, and other traffic management initiatives.

There is just over £200k allocated to community routes, and the project should make a real difference on the ground by March 2015.

Developing existing promoted routes

• The National Cycle Network (NCN) route through the National Park will be completed with the help of LSTF funding. The NCN is currently signed between Hythe and Brockenhurst, and welcomes many users. Through LSTF, the second and final section of NCN, linking Brockenhurst with Christchurch, will be completed and signed.

• The LSTF programme has allocated funding to improve the network of byways and bridleways on the Hampworth Estate in Wiltshire. This will enhance the cycle network in the north of the Park, and may help to reduce pressure on Crown land.

• The LSTF programme has allocated funding to improve the surface of a section of the Beaulieu to Bucklers Hard route.

1 http://www.newforestnpa.gov.uk/downloads/download/128/local_sustainable_transport_fund_bid_doc ument Off Road Cycling network on Crown land

The distinction between cycle routes on Crown lands and the highway is important. An extensive network of off road gravel tracks exists on the Crown lands, the landscape most often associated with the New Forest, managed by the Forestry Commission. Crown land is subject to the New Forest Acts, and recreational activity often needs the consent of the Verderers of the New Forest. For the cycle network, the Forestry Commission seek to renew consent every three years.

Gravel tracks on Crown land are thought to extend to over 300 miles, of which just over 100 miles have permission for cycling. Feedback suggests that additional permissions could open up new opportunities for cycling with minimal resources i.e. the infrastructure already exists. However any such extension of the network would need to be consistent with the Habitat Regulations, other land management issues, provide a net gain to the Forest, and importantly, gain Verderer consent.

The processes around gaining additional consents are not straightforward, and several attempts at gaining such consents over the last 15 years have not resulted in the desired outcomes. However, further discussions between key stakeholders will be taken forward over the coming months in the anticipation that some changes can be made to the network before March 2015.

Marketing

We will also use our LSTF revenue programmes to support the promotion of our cycling projects; this approach will benefit both the wider LSTF outcomes and specific cycling outcomes.

Travel Awareness Campaigns delivered through LSTF will be the key to delivering the levels of travel behaviour change set out in the bid document. Our broad approach is to work with and through stakeholders which are already communications with visitors or potential visitors. These include tourism businesses, transport providers, agents and PR specialists. Together, these will deliver high quality, memorable campaigns leading to sustained and quantifiable behaviour change.

The LSTF programme also includes a host of other relevant marketing projects, which complement the Travel Awareness Campaigns, these include:-

• Development and integration of an online cycle journey planner. • Further development of the New Forest Tour, six seasonal open top bus experiences which carry cycles for free. • New Forest Travel Ambassadors Scheme • Marketing of New Forest Community Routes • Cycle route maps and guides

We will also build marketing requirements into the tender process for the operation of projects two and three the need for a commitment to marketing to be embedded into the contract to operate.

We will embed promotion of our five projects in the wider New Forest destination marketing, progressed through the New Forest Destination Partnership. This public / private partnership is responsible for marketing the New Forest as a visitor destination, and has been recognised as a world leader in developing sustainable tourism.

This successful approach to sustainable tourism has included the development of the VERB model, pioneered by New Forest District Council. This innovative approach sees the needs of Visitors, the Environment, Residents and Business are delivered in harmony for the overall benefit of the destination.

• welcomes, involves & satisfies Visitors • protects and enhances the local Environment • engages and benefits host Residents • achieves a profitable & prosperous Business

The destination management marketing plan includes a full range of digital and printed media, and PR.

We will also embrace the popular Brand New Forest2 concept which aims to help people get the most out of the unique environment of the New Forest while, at the same time, helping them to support the local economy.

Brand New Forest is supported by a large group of organisations including the New Forest Business Partnership, New Forest Transition, New Forest District Council, the New Forest National Park Authority and the New Forest Tourism Association. Projects two and three could link particularly well with Brand New Forest.

Other data: Forestry Commission New Forest off-road cycling survey 20067 • Majority of cycling groups comprised two people, the mean average was 3.6. • Most cyclists travelled less than 5 miles to get to the start of the cycle route, the majority travelled there by car. • The scenery /landscape and the availability of safe friendly cycling were the most common reasons why people visited. • Average route length 11.2 miles. • 46.3% of cyclists surveyed on the off-road network hired their bikes

Planned new data collection for this programme: • Forestry Commission cycle count data – 10 new cycle counters were installed on the off-road network at the end of 2012. This data will be available for us to monitor. • Biannual visitors survey focussing on visitor travel behaviour. First survey likely to take place in summer 2013. This will update 2004/5 visitors survey data. The survey will be repeated in summer 2015.
