<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>
