Active travel is an excellent way in which to enhance health and wellbeing so we agree with Draft Policy Direction-31 although we would note that more emphasis could be placed on the creation of improved cycleway and footpath networks throughout the district thereby enhancing leisure opportunities and improving access to a range of leisure and work places. It is often the case that new settlements are treated as dormitories and the worst impacts of this might be partially mitigated by improving longer distance cycle and footpath infrastructure. Also, it is important to require secure public cycle storage at public transport hubs to further reduce barriers to cycle use.
