Welcome many of the approaches outlined in SP7, but the wording should be strengthened in support of low carbon travel.

Reference to the Bradford Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan and the Bradford Cycling Strategy should be made.

Actions and targets we are seeking to reach should be included:
● providing secure facilities for bike storage;
● providing a comprehensive network of cycle-friendly streets;
● providing multi-use paths and cycle routes in both urban and rural areas which are well lit and well maintained so that all sections of society can use them;
● ensuring all new housing developments and individual properties include areas for secure bike storage;
● providing direct, well-maintained, and well-lit walking routes, including to and from schools;
● providing quality footways in towns and cities and Quiet Lanes in rural areas;
● slowing down traffic with 20mph zones and Home Zones;
● improving walking-related infrastructure;
● prioritising pedestrians at well-used road crossing points;
● designing infrastructure to meet the needs of different groups including older people, disabled people, and children
