Cycling Infrastructure
Dear Surrey County Council,
I am writing to request the answers to the following questions, on the subject of cycling within your county, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
1. What percentage of your county's total road kilometres consists of fully, hard segregated cycle routes?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
2. How many total kilometres of fully, hard segregated cycle routes does this equate to?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
3. Since the 6th of May 2010, how much money in pounds sterling has been spent from the county's transport budget on creating further fully, hard segregated cycle routes?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
4. In relation to the above question, what percentage of your total transport spend within your county for the named period did this constitute?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
5. For the period between the 1st April 2019 and the 31st March 2020, how much total money in pounds sterling from your county's transport budget has been or will be allocated to creating further fully, hard segregated cycle routes?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
6. For the period mentioned in question 5, what percentage of your county's transport budget does this constitute?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
7. What percentage of road kilometres under your sole control are 20mph roads?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
8. Aside from the above mentioned, what other initiatives is your county undertaking to improve the safety of cyclists on roads under your authority?
(a) for the county as a whole, and
(b) per district within the county.
For the purposes of this request, 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.
Yours faithfully,
M Ramsden
