A NEW Redditch Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) has been published by Worcestershire County Council.
The plan sets out a long-term vision to make walking, wheeling, and cycling in Redditch safer and more accessible for everyone.
The LCWIP follows a public engagement exercise held in 2024, where residents, businesses, and community groups were invited to share their views on how to improve active travel routes and connections across the town.
Coun Karl Perks, Worcestershire County Council’s cabinet member with responsibility for highways and transport, said: “The Redditch LCWIP sets out a clear framework for improving walking and cycling routes across the town, helping residents choose how they travel for everyday journeys.
“Redditch already has a strong network of paths and cycleways, and this plan will build on that foundation, focusing on safety, accessibility, and better connections between neighbourhoods, schools, and key destinations.”
The Redditch LCWIP includes five priority routes and a walking and wheeling zone in Redditch town centre. While LCWIPs do not come with direct funding, having an adopted plan puts the county council and its partners in a strong position to secure investment as new funding for active travel becomes available.
