Cycling Strategy

The Essex Cycling Strategy 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 will act as the over-arching policy framework to Enable, Provide and Promote cycling in Essex.
