Walking, wheeling and cycling strategy

Why are we updating our Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Strategy?

We create strategies to guide how to deliver programmes across the council, from time to time strategies need to be updated to ensure they still reflect the needs of the borough.

Investing in our infrastructure affects everyone in our community, no matter how short the journey

Giving people choices in how they travel for short journeys means less reliance on cars and taxis – which saves people money, reduces our carbon footprint and helps us live healthier for longer.

Less cars travelling short distances also means less traffic for when we do chose to drive, or need to rely on a car to get from place to place.

The type of schemes we are able to deliver are dependent on funding from the Department for Transport and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority – these outline requirements set out by national and regional policy agendas. South Yorkshire has an ambition to be the best place in the country to walk, wheel and cycle.

Delivering on these agendas helps us prove we are worth investment for bigger schemes such as the Rotherham mainline station.
