<\/div>AECOM (an infrastructure consultancy) have been tasked by Derbyshire County Council to create an “Active Travel Masterplan” for 3 towns within the county including Belper (plus Ilkeston and Glossop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The draft plan<\/a> has now been published (note – file is large size) and is now available on the Derbyshire consultations website<\/a> where there is a method for providing feedback (deadline of 24th June). <\/p>\n\n\n\n The focus of the study is on opportunities for, and barriers to, increased active travel (walking, cycling and scooting) around the town. There is obviously a need for dedicated cycling and walking paths within the town to make significant improvements. However my impression, from the introductory meeting, is that the focus will be on smaller and\/or more easily implemented improvements such as the removal or improvement of particularly bad junctions or the addition of useful road crossings, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Derby Cycling Group attended an introductory meeting with Aecom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Various suggestions from DCG members have been collated into an overall feedback document<\/a> from DCG to the consultants. This was submitted in early December ’23 for inclusion in the draft report. Thanks to all members who have submitted their thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Tube Map style map<\/a> assessing the cycling quality of the town was completed in 2017 and most of this is still applicable as not a lot has changed since then! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Updated: 1st May 2024 AECOM (an infrastructure consultancy) have been tasked by Derbyshire County Council to create an “Active Travel Masterplan” for 3 towns within the county including Belper (plus Ilkeston and Glossop).
