answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not hold detailed records, but it is aware of a small number of authorities who are preparing Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) outside of the DfT support programme. It is a matter for local authorities, outside of the 46 supported by DfT, to decide how to take forward and apply the LCWIP process for their local area.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Department encourages all Local Authorities to follow the LCWIP guidance by taking a whole network approach to planning and prioritising schemes. All Local Transport Authorities are able to access a range of planning tools, such as the Propensity to Cycle Tool and can draw on the LCWIP technical guidance (launched in April 2017), which provides a step-by-step guide to planning a cycling and walking network and prioritising schemes for delivery.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/10/2018 16:26:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
