Introduction

In Somerset, we have ambitious aspirations for active travel improvements. Our vision is to see healthy and active communities, with a good-quality cycling and walking experience for all users. We want Somerset to be a County where everyone feels welcome and comfortable, whichever mode of transport they use. We understand the positive links between active travel, our physical and mental health, the environment, air quality and climate change.

What we are doing

Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plans

Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plans are focused 10-year plans for developing a cycling and walking network within a local area. We have currently developed three plans: one each for Bridgwater, Taunton and Yeovil and more are being planned. You can find more information on our Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans page.
