Cycling and walking plans for Norfolk towns and villages

Major changes could be made to communities across the county through the countywide Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan, drawn up by officers at Norfolk County Council.

The plan, which is out for consultation, aims to get more people cycling and walking, improving their health, while cutting reliance on cars.

Maps have been produced showing routes where changes and improvements, such as new cycle lanes, footpaths and crossings could be prioritised.

A series of events about the plans have been held in recent weeks.
