D2N2 Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP)

The Government published its Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) in 2017. Following this, the Department for Transport (DfT) encouraged all highway authorities to develop a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).

Nottinghamshire County Council has worked in partnership with Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council and Nottingham City Council to develop a  D2N2 Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan.

The D2N2 LCWIP is a long-term approach to developing comprehensive local cycling and walking networks across the D2N2 area. The plan identifies a prioritised list of cycling and walking improvements for future delivery in the short, medium and long term (up to 15 years). 

The D2N2 LCWIP is evidence led and uses a detailed technical analysis tool to help identify, evaluate and prioritise potential cycle route improvements across the whole of Nottinghamshire (and the D2N2 area), in a consistent way.

The D2N2 LCWIP was developed through three workshops and a public consultation held between December 2022 and March 2023, which attracted 568 responses, with 93% expressing support for its ambitions.

The published LCWIP, formally signed off by the Department for Transport (DfT), is available via the link below. Any future reviews of the document will be led by East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) in partnership with the four constituent highway authorities; Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council.

Delivery programmes

The Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) is a live document, therefore the programmes are subject to review and will be updated when schemes are delivered, new sources of funding become available and as new revised data sources and assessment methodologies become available.
