Mr. Syms: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how many routes for safer cycling and
walking have been introduced in the past 12 months; and how many are planned to be introduced in each of the next nine years.

Mr. Spellar: Information on cycling and walking provision is not available in the form requested. The Government have encouraged
local traffic authorities in England to include strategies for increasing cycling and walking in their local transport plans (LTPs).
Local cycling strategies contain plans for up to 4,300 km of new cycle routes in England by 2005, as well as a range of facilities
for cyclists such as advanced stop lines, toucan crossings and junction treatments. Local strategies to promote walking include
pedestrian routes, pedestrianisation, safety measures, better facilities for the disabled and greater accessibility to transport
interchanges and facilities. A number of authorities are likely to use LTP funding to make walking more accessible, by improving
pavement and footway maintenance, and removing obstructions.
We shall also be continuing to help Sustrans in the development of the National Cycle Network, which it is hoped will be 10,000
miles long by 2005.
