In July 2020, the Prime Minister launched ambitious plans to boost walking and cycling in England, with a vision for half of all journeys in towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2030. This commitment is backed with £2 billion of investment over five years, including significant funding for local authorities to develop and deliver local cycling and walking networks, and for the National Cycle Network.<\/p>
The Department intends to publish the second statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS 2) later this year. It will reflect these new policies and the multi-year funding settlement for walking and cycling announced at the recent Spending Review. It will also reflect the commitment published in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan in 2021, to deliver a world class cycling and walking network in England by 2040.<\/p>

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021 and the elite sport stage 4 guidance on return to cross-border competition sets the framework for elite sports exemptions to self-isolation.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> It is for the National Governing Body to determine which disciplines or athletes meet the definitions within the legislation, and to issue the written evidence required to benefit from the exemption.<\/p> <\/strong> Cycling and walking deliver a range of health, economic and environmental benefits. These are detailed in the Prime Minister\u2019s Plan for cycling and walking (www.gov.uk/government/publications/cycling-and-walking-plan-for-england<\/a>) published on 28 July which sets an ambition for half of all journeys in towns and cities to be cycled or walked by 2030. The plan includes a £2 billion package of funding for active travel over the next 5 years, which is the largest ever boost for cycling and walking, and which will deliver transformational change.<\/p> <\/p> Reported pedal cyclist fatalities where 'Poor or defective road surface' reported as a contributory factor in the accident, England, 2005 to 2017<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> Year<\/p><\/td> Fatalities<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2005<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2006<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2007<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2008<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2009<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2010<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2011<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2012<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2013<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2014<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2015<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2016<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2017<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> Source: DfT STATS19<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> Not all accidents are included in the contributory factor data; only accidents where the police attended the scene and reported at least one contributory factor are included.
