Do you think we should have more provision for active travel in Whitby & the Esk Valley? Please add your name / organisation to those calling for improvement.
Providing detailed analysis ...
Whilst we are looking at the provision of new paths to provide a proper walking and cycling network within our district, we also, where required, will perform assessments of how well a particular area provides for active travel currently.
We recently provided an assessment of the active travel provision on the Broomfield Farm residential estate, and have now also added an assessment of the active travel provision on Whitby Business Park.
Helping to design the future ...
We are providing proposals for walking and cycling infrastructure that will help to define the future of active travel in this district. We are also a stakeholder on the generation of LCWIP documents for Whitby area, and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park
Reporting Barriers to Access ...
We believe that all paths should be available to all wherever possible. This applies whether you are walking, scooting, in a wheelchair or mobility scooter, or cycling. Have you come across any barriers to access whilst trying to use paths in the Whitby and District area?
Please do report all that you find and we will try to do something about it.
Promoting Active Travel Groups ...
Maintaining what we have ...
We organise voluntary activities, such as litter picking or vegetation clearance, to help make our paths available to more people more of the time. Why not get involved?
Facilitating new infrastructure ...
With very low levels of cycle infrastructure, the potential for improvement is vast. Similarly many walking paths are in poor state of repair or simply not fully accessible to all. We will work towards obtaining funding to remedy these issues to provide the public with what they need to reap the health benefits.
