To help people walk, cycle and wheel safely around Southampton more often we are developing and delivering a range of schemes for active travel. These range from cycle schemes to new places to safely cross roads and schemes around schools that make it safer for everyone to move around.
This supports the ambition in Connected Southampton 2040, our long-term transport plan, and Cycle Strategy to make Southampton a modern, liveable and sustainable place to live, work and visit. See the Active Travel Plans page for more information
This is allowing us to create the Southampton Cycle Network (SCN) and places where people can safely walk and wheel – whether this is to work, shops, school or for leisure.
We'll be engaging with local residents, businesses, emergency services and other key stakeholders to get feedback and work together to shape schemes before they are put in place. We'll be consulting in a number of ways including with public opinion surveys and online consultation events.
