3 Foreword 1 Until about forty years ago, cycling was an important form of transport for many people, accounting for about one-fifth of all trips. Today, cycle use is much less, although cycle ownership continues to rise. Many of the trips we make could be made by bicycle. Indeed, it is believed that many more people would cycle if there were better, safer cycle routes and more secure parking facilities. Salford City Council recognises that, for many people, the use of a car or public transport is not always an option and that cycling can often offer an inexpensive, healthier and exciting means of travel. Greater cycle use also has the potential to bring about significant environmental benefits, through the reduced use of scarce natural resources and associated reduction in air-borne pollutants and greenhouse gases. To me, it is clear that cycling will continue to play an important role in the strive to achieve a balanced and integrated transport system. This revised cycling strategy sets out the cycling objectives and targets that the city council aims to achieve, together with some of the policies and new initiatives to be pursued, over the next 5 to 10 years.

4 2 In order to provide a focus for promoting greater cycle use, Salford City Council embraces the principles and guidance provided by the NCS, and our local cycling strategy sets out the aims and objectives that can be realistically achieved within the city, contributing towards the national targets.
5 Policy background 3 In recent years policies relating to transport, the environment and personal health have changed dramatically, with cycling playing a key role by offering an environmentally sustainable and health promoting transport option. As a result, moves to highlight the role for cycling have been taken and the Government has issued a number of key strategic documents and guidance. In 1994, the Government issued a statement on cycling acknowledging the need to alter the underlying conditions on the highway network. This statement was further brought into focus when the Local Transport Minister of the time recognised the need to develop a national strategy to promote cycling. In addition, the Department of Transport called for growth in the use of cycling as a mode of transport for the 40% of journeys of three miles or less that are currently made by car. In 1996, the National Cycling Strategy (NCS) was launched. This document was designed to promote cycling on the highway, in town centres, to and from the workplace and in new developments. The strategy sets out common objectives, identifies targets in relation to those objectives and promotes a range of actions that can help to meet them. The Government s white paper, A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone, endorsed the principles set by the NCS, within which the headline target is to double the number of trips made by bicycle nationally by 2002, and to double it again by More recently, in the Government s paper, Transport 2010 The Ten Year Plan, these targets were complemented with the aim of trebling cycle trips between 2000 and In order to provide a focus for promoting greater cycle use, Salford City Council embraces the principles and guidance provided by the NCS, and our local cycling strategy sets out the aims and objectives that can be realistically achieved within the city, contributing towards the national targets. Cycle use in the UK Cycling accounts for less than 2% of trips in the UK, compared with 10-20% in other European countries. Despite this low level of cycle use there is a strong interest in cycling and cycle sales have been buoyant. There is clearly potential to convert this interest in cycling into increased levels of cycle use as a mode of transport, particularly as the UK has neither an unusual geography, climate or economy. In Switzerland there are more hills, Sweden has colder winters and Germany higher car ownership, yet each has at least five times the share of trips by bicycle than the UK. It should also be recognised that the UK has one of the world s highest rates of heart failure and strokes. Generally as a nation we need more exercise. Cycling is an ideal way of provided such activity as well as being an economic and efficient form of transport.
6 4 Cycle use in Salford Information gathered from the last census, in 2001, showed that the proportion of trips taken to work by cycle within the city stood at 2.3%, slightly below the national average of 2.8%. Information relating to the mode of travel to work, including a comparison of change between the last three censuses, and the amount of cycle use in each community committee area (CCA) are shown in the charts below. Mode of travel to work (%) Travel to work by cycle, CCA 2001 (%) Other Car Bus Walk Cycle Train Census 1991 Census 2001 Census Additional information from this census revealed that almost 40% of households within the city did not own a car. It is clear, therefore, that the city council should aim to enhance the facilities available for this section of the community. Since 1993, schemes have been implemented to improve facilities for cyclists on a number of routes within the city. This cycling strategy now provides an ideal opportunity for Salford City Council to review its progress on cycling provision and set out new objectives to help encourage an enthusiastic cycling culture to develop.
7 Objectives 5 Central to our vision of cycling within the city is the aim of: promoting and developing cycling to maximise its role as a safe, quick, efficient,convenient, healthy and environmentally friendly form of travel. The key objectives resulting from this aim are to: increase the safety of cyclists; develop a network of safe cycle routes and provide secure parking facilities; promote the greater use of cycles by making cycling more attractive for all age groups; contribute to an improved environment by seeking to alleviate urban pollution and congestion by encouraging cycling as a serious means of daily transport; promote a transport system which benefits our collective health; ensure sufficient financial resources are made available to implement the strategy; and ensure the Local Cycling Strategy is fully integrated into the Unitary Development Plan. If these objectives are achieved, then a stronger cycling culture should develop within the city.
8 6 Implementation In order to implement the strategy effectively, a number of key areas have been highlighted for attention. These areas include: Cycle route network Salford City Council will continue to develop and implement schemes, in accordance with its Cycle Route Network Plan, to provide safe and convenient facilities for cyclists throughout the city. In general, priority will be given to treating the major highway corridors, followed by routes to secondary schools and colleges and finally to minor residential roads. However, the city council will also continue its safer routes to school programme and as a result many of the areas around primary schools shall also receive traffic calming treatment. Wherever possible and practical, measures to make the use of existing roads safe and convenient for cyclists shall be implemented in preference to segregated facilities. The Cycle Route Network Plan will include suitable cross-boundary links with facilities in neighbouring authorities and these links shall be given appropriate priority within the implementation programme. Accident prevention Salford City Council will tackle cycling accident problems and implement measures to improve the safety of cyclists. The Accident Investigation Unit will continue to research into cycling accidents in Salford. Where concentrations of cycle accidents exist, remedial treatment will be identified and implemented, as part of the unit s ongoing programme of accident reduction schemes. Cycle parking Salford City Council will aim to provide secure and covered cycle parking facilities at all public buildings, local centres, transport interchanges and educational establishments. It is clear that the introduction of safer cycle routes will only help to increase the amount of cycling if cyclists have somewhere secure to leave their bikes once they reach their destination. The authority will also encourage private landowners to provide such facilities. It is envisaged that new cycle parking facilities will be introduced in conjunction with the implementation of the cycle route network Integration with public transport Salford City Council will ensure that cycling is fully integrated with public transport to facilitate cycle use as part of longer journeys. Cyclists will be permitted, wherever safe and practicable, to use all bus lanes throughout the city. The cycle route network will include provision of high quality links with public transport interchanges.
9 7 Cycle audit Salford City Council will adopt a system of cycle audit to ensure that all highway and land-use developments, all environmental and all housing improvement schemes take full account of, and provide for, the needs of cyclists. The procedures contained in Guidelines for cycle audit and cycle review and Greater Manchester s recently adopted, Concise Pedestrian and Cycle Audit, COPECAT, will form the basis of this cycle audit system. Development control Salford City Council will ensure that new developments do not sever routes used by cyclists or pedestrians. Policy will be adopted to require that all new large developments incorporate the uptake of a suitable travel plan, as a condition of any planning consent, including the provision of adequate cycle parking facilities according to an adopted standard. All major planning applications will undergo a cycle audit. The authority will make use, wherever possible, of planning gain and commuted payments to improve transport infrastructure to aid pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Recreational cycling Salford City Council will continue its programme of disused railway line conversions to recreational routes for use by pedestrians and cyclists. As these routes will not always be of suitable construction, their use as year-round transport corridors is limited. Therefore, funding for this type of scheme will be obtained primarily through environmental packages. Further details of measures to encourage outdoor recreation in the city can be found in the city council s Countryside Access Strategy. Maintenance Salford City Council will undertake, promptly and to a high standard, the surface maintenance, sweeping, salting, removal of overhanging vegetation and lighting maintenance on all routes used by cyclists. The maintenance of the cycle route network will be given high priority by the city council.
10 8 Schools and education Salford City Council will endeavour to secure suitable cycling facilities for all secondary schools, to encourage more children to cycle to school. The authority will continue to provide cycle training for schools, encourage the use of cycle helmets and conspicuous clothing and also coordinate with schools and the police to promote a safer environment. The authority currently undertakes cycle training with approximately 25% of 10 year old school children throughout the city and will ensure that this continues. Measures will also be introduced to encourage more children to walk and cycle to school, through the safer routes to school programme and promotion of school travel plans. Encouragement In conjunction with AGMA and occasional national initiatives, Salford City Council will undertake promotional campaigns to encourage greater use of cycling as a form of transport. The authority will also encourage other organisations to promote more cycling to their premises and to develop Travel Plans. Experience suggests that the provision of special cycle facilities only goes part way to attracting more people onto bikes. Cycling is more likely to flourish when considered as part of wider policies, including traffic restraint, traffic calming, public transport investment, provision of more car free areas and land use planning to reduce trip lengths. The city council s transport and land use policies, taken as a whole, will aim to address these wider issues.
11 Targets 9 In summary, Salford City Council, by way of this and other transport related strategies, will aim to achieve the following targets. TARGET 1 Complete the implementation of the Cycle Route Network by TARGET 2 No more than 10% of school pupils travel to school by car by TARGET 3 Provide secure cycle parking at 50% of public buildings, public transport interchanges and educational establishments by 2006 rising to 100% by TARGET 4 Contribute to the National Cycling Strategy headline targets and achieve the transport 2010 target of tripling cycle usage between 2000 and 2010 and quadruple cycle usage by Monitoring Progress on implementing this strategy will be reviewed annually to ensure that the measures detailed remain at the forefront of council policy. The strategy itself will also be reviewed regularly, as part of the Greater Manchester LTP, and republished every five years to update the strategy and to monitor the authority s progress towards achieving its own targets. Additionally, Salford City Council s performance in helping to achieve the national target will be monitored by the following methods. 1. Comparison of the mode of travel to work, taken from census information. 2. Comparison of the mode of travel to school, using survey information gathered during Safer Routes to School studies. 3. Specific assessment of change around Eccles town centre by monitoring cordon traffic counts. 4. Assessment of city wide changes through monitoring the traffic counts on key highway corridors. These corridors will include the A6, the A580, the A57, the A575/B5211 and the A Assessment of city wide changes through monitoring the Transport Statistics for Greater Manchester and the Salford district produced by GMTU. 6. Monitoring of the operation of cycling facilities and further improvements where appropriate. Details of the current figures relating to this monitoring are shown in Appendix 2.
