Subject: Freedom of Information request - Cycle Infrastructure Auto
forwarded by a Rule

 

Dear Kingston upon Thames Borough Council,

 

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?

 

2. How many total kilometres of fully, hard segregated cycle routes does
this equate to?

 

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?

 

4. In relation to the above question, what percentage of your total
transport spend within your borough for the named period did this
constitute?

 

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?

 

6. For the period mentioned in question 5, what percentage of your
borough's transport budget does this constitute?

 

7. What percentage of road kilometres under your sole control are 20mph
roads?

 

8. Aside from the above mentioned, what other initiatives is your borough
undertaking to improve the safety of cyclists on roads under your
authority?

 

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

I refer to your request of 30 January and apologise for failing to respond
within the prescribed timescale.

As requested I include the requested information in an Excel spread sheet
endeavouring to answer the questions as fully as possible.  However,
regarding latest spend  for 2014/15 this has not been possible as we are
still awaiting guidance from TfL as to which of the schemes included
within our mini-Holland proposal should be developed for implementation. A
meeting to determine this is expected within the coming weeks.

If you would wish to discuss the response, please contact me.

 

Regards Paul
