Subject: Freedom of Information request - Cycle Infrastructure

 

Dear Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea,

 

I am writing to request the answers to the following questions, on

the subject of cycling within your borough, under the Freedom of

Information Act 2000.

 

1. What percentage of your borough's total road kilometres consists

of fully, hard segregated cycle routes?

This has not been calculated but will be less than one per cent.

 

2. How many total kilometres of fully, hard segregated cycle routes

does this equate to?

This has not been calculated but will be between 100m and 200m.

 

3. Since the 6th of May 2010, how much money in pounds sterling has

been spent from your borough's transport budget on creating further

fully, hard segregated cycle routes?

£0

 

4. In relation to the above question, what percentage of your total

transport spend within your borough for the named period did this

constitute?

0 per cent

 

5. For the period between the 1st of April 2014 and the 31st of

March 2015, how much total money in pounds sterling from your

borough's transport budget has been or will be allocated to

creating further fully, hard segregated cycle routes?

£0

 

6. For the period mentioned in question 5, what percentage of your

borough's transport budget does this constitute?

0 per cent

 

7. What percentage of road kilometres under your sole control are

20mph roads?

This has not been calculated but will be less than one per cent

 

8. Aside from the above mentioned, what other initiatives is your

borough undertaking to improve the safety of cyclists on roads

under your authority?

Please see the cycling pages on our website at

You might also want to read the relevant pages of our Local Implementation
Plan, which you can find here:

In this instance, hard segregation means where there is a kerb

separating the standard road surface from the cycleway. It does not

include shared footpath and cyclepath routes where this is no

separation between the footway and the cycleway. Please only

include cycleways that are solely under your council's control for

this figure.

 

Total road kilometres is the distance of standard roads that are

accessible to motorised vehicles, in addition to the distance of

hard-segregated cycleways as described in the above paragraph.

Please only include roads and cycleways that are solely under your

council's control in this calculation.

 

Please email your responses in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet within

20 working days of this request being submitted, that is to say by

the 28th of February 2014.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Will Nickell
