Hampshire County Council are rewriting their Local Transport Policy for the climate crisis.
Obviously, they'll do something for cycling, to reflect the Government’s "Gear Change for Cycling”.
But we think they need to do more than that :
- Put cycling and walking at its core.
- Adopt the new LTN 1/20 cycle design standards.
- Give Hampshire Highways responsibility and budget to deliver a comprehensive county-wide cycle network.
All local transport decisions are effectively made by Hampshire County Council - so we’re setting up Green Travel Hampshire to lobby them.
Hampshire wants public input before Sunday 28th February. There will be huge pressure from the motoring lobby - please make sure our voice is heard.

And ideally, fill in their survey - a little bit harder, but we'll give you some help.
Thank you for supporting cycling!

Very interesting to see how this develops - obviously Covid makes it tricky at the moment.
