Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan

Hull City Council is seeking public feedback on its Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) 2025-2035 (Opens in a new window).

The plan identifies gaps in the city's active travel network and proposes to invest in these over the next 10 years as funding becomes available.

The LCWIP acts as a plan for future schemes and indicates to the Government where the council intends to spend money and why.

Having an LCWIP in place is an important part of making bids for funding and is one of the considerations the Government makes when allocating money for active travel.

The council is keen to understand people's walking and cycling habits, attitudes toward the proposed LCWIP and feedback on whether residents, businesses and communities agree with the council’s overall approach as well as the areas of the network identified for investment.

The LCWIP proposes investment in five walking routes –

• Anlaby Road - from Hawthorn Avenue towards Hull Royal Infirmary
• Hessle Road - from North Road towards Coltman Street
• St George's Road - from Anlaby Road towards Hessle Road
• Boulevard - from Anlaby Road to just beyond Hessle Road
• Woodcock Street / Gordon Street / Cholmley Street - from Hawthorn Avenue towards Coltman Street
