Advocate for Cycle Transport in the East Midlands Mayor\u2019s Big Transport Conversation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new, fifteen year, Local Transport Plan (LTP) for the East Midlands is being consulted on right now. It is the<\/strong><\/em> opportunity to get more and better cycle transport infrastructure where we live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want better cycle routes that interconnect, in a proper, safe, network, you need to take part in this consultation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d like all Derby Cycling Group members to please take part by answering the online questionnaire before 8th<\/sup> February 2026 and advocate for more and better cycle transport infrastructure and planning which makes cycling a more attractive and safer form of everyday transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft LTP supports active travel, but it is essential that people respond to the consultation and say they agree, otherwise people with a different agenda may sway the Mayor to focus on other kinds of transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can access the questionnaire here: LTP Questionaire for Individuals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some notes to help fill in the questionnaire and highlight our main \u201careas for improvement\u201d are in our members briefing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
