We particularly support that part of the policy as follows:
‘Providing a well-connected network of attractive green routes and spaces that are safe and easy to use and move around for all members of the community’.
This is something we have endeavoured to do for many years.
Our experience is that cycleway routes such as ours are seen by developers as a liability, as something that needs to be provided as part of a planning obligation. We have had to impress Bradford’s planners as well of the importance of sustainable travel. There is a need for an improved understanding of good design from planned layouts to detailed matters so as to integrate a cycleway with new housing schemes.
