There is a clearly established case for encouraging people to walk or cycle around town instead of using their cars. The case for cycling was documented in A Strategy for Cycle Route Development in Emsworth published by Emsworth Community Board in March 2007. This should be read in conjunction with this report.
The cycling strategy report was presented to local government transport officers who recommended that the needs of pedestrians should also be considered. They proposed that a Community Street Audit should be carried out to provide a comprehensive list of improvements that would encourage more people to walk and cycle around Emsworth. Such a list could form the basis for a formal Town Access Plan for Emsworth which would be consulted when funding for highways projects became available. Emsworth Community Board undertook to carry out the Street Audit with the help of other Emsworth residents. All those who took part were volunteers. Planning for the Street Audit took place during the summer of 2007 and the street surveys took place in October/November 2007. Conclusions from the audit were consolidated and published in March 2008.Download the report ……………………….The case for cycling was documented in A Strategy for Cycle Route Development in Emsworth published by Emsworth Community Board in March 2007.
