Aberdeenshire Council has produced a draft Walking and Cycling Action Plan for final public consultation.

The Aberdeenshire draft Walking and Cycling Action Plan – a daughter document to the council’s Local Transport Strategy – outlines a range of actions and policies that the council will use to encourage people to walk and cycle across the region.

The draft action plan has been prepared following a successful consultation exercise on an initial Summary Walking and Cycling Strategy and Questionnaire in summer 2008 to which over 650 responses were received.

The draft action plan now presents a detailed Implementation Plan which outlines the actions and policies that the council will seek to implement to achieve its objectives for increased levels of walking and cycling, both for trips to work and leisure purposes.

To download a copy of the draft Walking and Cycling Action Plan, and for information on how to respond, please visit the council’s website at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/walkingandcycling

The closing date for consultation is Friday, April 24. Comments received will be used to inform the development of a final Action Plan which the council aims to publish in the summer.

Eileen Watt  - cycle path   |24-03-2009 09:52:25 When can long-suffering cyclists like myself expect to be able to access the link between Maud and Brucklay on the Buchan & Formartine Way? It is scandalous - and unacceptable - that we have to put our lives at risk on the back road from Maud and the main New Pitsligo road, used as a diversion. Also - why was a cycle track from the Maud/New Pitsligo road junction presently used as a diversion not incorporated in the roadworks when the Brucklay Bridge was removed?

Gillian Owen  - Ellon   |02-04-2009 07:31:45 I am still keen to see a core path run along side the Tescos Store on the A948. People will not wish to walk through an industrial estate and now with the expansion of the Store perhaps we can encourage a contribution from the store as I asked them to take this into account at the planning meeting. People walk along the A948 where there is not path at all from the Park and ride to the Knockothie Estate, a path would encourage more people to walk but in a safer environment
