Dorset Council's Active Travel Infrastructure Plan is a long term strategy for improving the network for walking, cycling and wheeling - that is, using a mobility scooter, wheelchair or similar mobility aid to get around.
The plans include the network of prioritised routes based on which parts of the network would be most useful to improve.
This survey gives you the opportunity to provide your views on:
- whether the network of key routes is correct, and
- whether the prioritised routes in each area are the right ones
We would also like your views on the barriers to walking, wheeling and cycling and your own suggestions for additional routes to be considered.
The survey is available now to complete and will be open until 18 January 2024.
If you require an alternative format or paper copy please email: activetravel@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk or call 01305 221883.
Why your views matter
We want your views on the proposed active travel network and prioritised routes in the east and south central Dorset areas. Outside these areas basic route networks will be developed, reflecting the relatively simpler movements in and out of market towns away from the larger urban areas. Your ideas for routes in these areas will be welcome.
Having an Active Travel Infrastructure Plan will place Dorset in a stronger position to obtain funding from Government and to negotiate improved provision to and from new developments.
