The Government has already fully implemented EU Directive 2014/45. This Directive enables Member States to exempt vehicles manufactured or registered for the first time at least 30 years ago from periodic roadworthiness testing. The Government\u2019s consultation response, published in September 2017, set out the decision to exempt most vehicles over 40 years old from testing, except for those which have been substantially changed. The Government has no plans to revisit this 40 year threshold.<\/p>

The Department is currently piloting a programme of support to assist 46 local authorities with the development of Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs). These plans are still under development. LCWIPs help local authorities think strategically about their cycling and walking networks and prioritise a pipeline of projects for future investment. The Department intends to formally evaluate the support offered later in the year.<\/p>
