uin	18070
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2022 answer text <p>The management of local roads, including provision of cycling facilities, is the responsibility of individual local traffic authorities. It is for them to ensure their streets are designed to provide safe movement for all road users. The Department has published updated guidance on Cycle Infrastructure Design to help local authorities deliver high quality cycle infrastructure in the future which can be accessed at <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcycle-infrastructure-design-ltn-120&amp;data=05%7C01%7CFiona.O%27Neill%40dft.gov.uk%7C2227b969da5d41d00d8f08da4f7c4883%7C28b782fb41e148eabfc3ad7558ce7136%7C0%7C0%7C637909692447368981%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ojLcnUWcmmvSPRCIjAXNdV9bY%2BOcyvIGSvIdxoVhyNQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/cycle-infrastructure-design-ltn-120</a>. Cycling clearly does not work for everyone, or for every journey. But the more people that cycle, the more roadspace is freed up for those who really need to drive. High-quality infrastructure is a key part of enabling this.</p><p> </p><p>The National Cycle Network (NCN), managed by Sustrans, is a UK-wide network of signed paths and routes for walking and cycling. It stretches over 12,000 miles and in 2019 an estimated 4.2 million people used the NCN to make almost 650 million journeys. Over 50% of journeys were made by modes other than a bicycle including equestrians.</p><p> </p><p>On 14 May 2022 the Department announced £35m of funding for the National Cycle Network to deliver improved surfacing, widened paths and greater accessibility, such as the removal of barriers that impact disabled people and cyclists. Many of these projects are focused on canal towpaths, which are important elements of many local cycling and walking networks.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 22/06/2022 10:46:20 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
