Have your say

To inform the Council's approach to providing walking, wheeling and cycling improvements in the Wyre Forest Towns, a public engagement exercise is currently underway, asking for people's views. We would like to know how the emerging LCWIP network might encourage more walking, wheeling and cycling in Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn and Bewdley.

This LCWIP engagement distinguishes cycling from walking and wheeling routes. However, as part of the commitment to making active travel accessible to everyone, it is intended that all cycling corridors will consider corridor-wide improvements for walking and wheeling where possible.

As many people as possible are encouraged to have their say by accessing the online maps and survey.
