Cycling Strategy

The Essex Cycling Strategy (published in 2016) aims to encourage Essex residents, workers and visitors to enjoy the health benefits of cycling, which also offers an affordable travel choice for journeys around our towns. As well as encouraging more leisure and family bike rides to enjoy the Essex countryside.

The strategy acts as the overarching policy framework to Enable, Provide and Promote cycling in Essex.

We are currently developing a new Essex Cycling Strategy, and have recently published a draft strategy document. A public consultation on this draft strategy is now live, and you can give your feedback by completing our consultation survey on our project webpage. The consultation closes on Sunday 7 July.
