  • VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE and ECONOMIC IMPACT a Report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004
    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.

  • Disabled People and the National Cycle Network
    This information sheet is also available in large type. INFORMATION SHEET FF05 JUNE 1998 Disabled people and the National Cycle Network 1 Introduction Over 6 million people in Britain have some form of disability (1) and they often find themselves excluded from the activities that other people take for granted because their needs have not been addressed at the planning stages of key projects. In partnership with Sustrans, Local Authorities and other organisations all over the UK are developing the National Cycle Network which we believe will bring a whole range of benefits to many disabled people. This document addresses issues Smedley Toby relating to its use by disabled people. Traffic free routes benefit walkers and cyclists of all abilities and wheelchair users. We know that there are genuine concerns voiced by different users, and cyclists of all abilities and including disabled people, about wheelchair users.

Bicycles occupy little space, save energy and cause no air or noise pollution. They are cheap to use and to provide for. Cycling is good exercise and is beneficial to individual health. 1.2 Policy Background Transport policy in the UK saw significant changes during the 1990s. A number of "milestone documents", for example The UK Strategy for Sustainable Development 1994 and PPG13: Transport recognised the importance of cycling, but The National Cycling Strategy 1996 firmly established cycling as "a central factor in offering an environmentally sustainable and health promoting local transport option". This policy shift towards a more integrated transport system and the recognition that there must be viable alternatives to private car travel, has been continued by the publication of the Government White Paper A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone in 1998 and the Transport Act in 2000.
