Bike Walk Marlborough and the Marlborough District Council want your feedback on the draft Walking and Cycling Strategy (2018-28) that is now out for consultation.

Feedback on the draft strategy will help shape the final strategy document before it is presented to Marlborough District Council for adoption.

Bike Walk Marlborough Coordinator Braden Prideaux says feedback from members of the public on projects and initiatives they think are important in creating a safe and connected network of walking and cycling facilities is key to providing the best future-proofed options for the people of Marlborough.

“We are particularly focussed on ensuring future cycling and walking networks have the capacity to offer residents genuine choices for travel, including to and from school, work, for recreation, and to increase potential tourism to the district.

“This strategy contains network and action plans that identify existing and proposed tracks, facilities and projects to develop and expand walking and cycling networks, for a range of local journeys and longer distance touring routes,” Braden says.

Providing a safe, attractive and convenient network of walking and cycling facilities will take time and money, as such this strategy provides a framework for Marlborough District Council on the priorities for investment.

Submissions on the draft strategy close on 31 August 2018.
