BROXBOURNE LOCAL CYCLING AND Planning Policy Manager WALKING INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN RECOMMENDED that a presentation on the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan be received. For members’ information, the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan is circulated separately. Background The Broxbourne Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan was first introduced in 2017. The Panel will receive an update on the work being done that is related to the Plan. Conclusion The Panel is asked to consider the issues raised and to give any feedback it may have. Contact Officers: List of Background Papers: Mr M Paine (Ext 5563) None. 5. NEW RIVER SHARED PATH Head of Community Infrastructure and Regeneration RECOMMENDED that a presentation on the New River Shared Path be received. Background The New River Path, running through the borough, is a combination of footpaths, public rights of way and permissive access given by Thames Water - the main landowner. The widths along the current route are varied with some very narrow sections and others that are much more generous. Additionally, the surfacing is also varied with just a grass covering in places. The proposals would create a continuous route starting from the M25 in Waltham Cross and finishing near the John Warner School in Hoddesdon. The Panel will receive a presentation on proposals for a shared path through the borough, for both walkers and cyclists as well as those with mobility issues. Conclusion The Panel is asked to consider the issues raised and to give any feedback it may have. Contact Officers: List of Background Papers: Mr A Cuffaro (Ext 5539) None. .

Executive Summary Summer 2014
Hackney Transport Strategy 2014-2024 Executive Summary Summer 2014 PJ56327 Hackney Transport Strategy 2014-2024 – Executive Summary Executive Summary 1. Introduction 1.1 This is the Hackney’s Transport Strategy 2014‐2024. The Strategy sets out Hackney’s strategic transportation aims, objectives and priorities for 2014‐2024. The Strategy aims to support other Strategies including the Sustainable Community Strategy and the emerging Local Development Framework. 1.2 The vision for Hackney’s Transport Strategy is: “By 2024, Hackney’s transport system will be an exemplar for sustainable urban living in London. It will be fair, equitable, safe and responsive to the needs of its residents and businesses, facilitating the highest quality of life standards for a borough in the Capital and leading London in its approach to tackling its urban transport challenges of the 21st Century.” 1.3 By 2024, this Hackney’s Transport Strategy will have achieved the following goals: I. Hackney is renowned for having the most pedestrian and cyclist friendly neighbourhoods, streets and public realm in London. II. Hackney remains one of London’s most liveable boroughs with green, safe and thriving neighbourhoods, streets and public spaces where different communities get on and interact. III. To have played an important role in improved resident’s health and well being, as well as tackling obesity levels through higher rates of active travel. IV. To have substantially reduced road danger for all our residents but particularly more vulnerable groups such as older people and children and especially vulnerable road users such as cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists. V. To have continued the reduction in car ownership and created an environment where owning a private car is not the norm.
