Good to see @mrdannyw.bsky.social @heidialexander.bsky.social @liliangreenwood.bsky.social launching the 3rd Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3) Consultation You can find it here & comment Be good to have a session on this at @activetravelcaf.bsky.social soon www.gov.uk/government/c...

Investing in an affordable, sustainable future

In the June Spending Review, the government committed £616 million in capital funding [footnote 1] to Active Travel England (ATE) from 2026 to 2030 to support councils in building and maintaining walking and cycling infrastructure. This is on top of the £300 million of funding for 2024 to 2026, which was announced in February 2025.

This investment complements wider transport funding over the Spending Review period, which can be used to support active travel, including:

£15.6 billion through the Transport for City Regions fund (TCR)
£2.3 billion via Local Transport Grants
£24 billion for strategic and local roads
£900 million per year to improve and maintain bus services

A great write up, thank you. Your powers of recall are stupendous, especially given the temperatures on the day. Boring Leicester actually fits with the @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social vision of #MakingCyclingNormal. Coming to @activetravelcaf.bsky.social soon?

What is surprising is that Loughborough university is dominated by athletes. I see cyclists and runners all the time obviously from the university and they are having to navigate very dangerous roads due to idiotic drivists.

Very interesting and good on Leicester. A shame Leicestershire is failing though. I live just outside Loughborough and there is some really dodgy cycle infra.

Something I just read prompted me to check some government figures. In 2023, 34.52m people held driving licences out of a population of 68.3m. That's just 51% of people Interestingly, DfT like to calculate this percentage using the *adult* population, which gives 74%

We were delighted to be able to bring Ranty up to date with all things cycling in Leicester, and the odd cold beer on a very hot day. Can't wait to hear his verdict.

There’s no ‘pay as you go’ … It’s a £10 a year membership (Unlimited visits & free for the first year if you sign up before 7th July). This week has been about signing up immediate regular Bike Park users. Next week it goes out via City Council media platforms. It’s been busy so far …

That's not good. I'm an occasional user of the bike park when staying with family in Leicester, guess I'll drive in next time! Do you need an Active Leicester card to use car parks? I very much doubt it...
