Help Plan Cycling & Walking Networks In Market Harborough

People in Market Harborough are being encouraged to suggest improvements to cycling and walking provision in the town.

It is part of work by Leicestershire County Council to make changes to key areas of travel, with the aim to establish an integrated cycling and walking network.

There is an interactive map allowing residents to pinpoint where they would like to see improvements, such as new cycle lanes or walking trailers and the engagement runs until October 24th.

Councillor Ozzy O’Shea, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “This plan will shape local walking, cycling and wheeling routes in and around Market Harborough for the future, so the more input we receive from local residents, businesses, visitors and councillors, the better for us all.

“As well as helping us build and establish a coherent cycling, walking and wheeling network,  progressing work on our LCWIPs also helps us secure funding from the government and private developers to ensure we can put our proposals into action.

“The feedback we have collected so far from previous LCWIP consultations has been extremely insightful, and we hope this continues as we progress our travel plans across the county.”
