To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timetable is for the appointment of the Chair and expert panel of the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy.
Jesse Norman
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department continues to engage with a wide range of stakeholders on the delivery of the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy. I met with representatives from the main walking and cycling organisations on 19 September to discuss various matters including how the Department might best benefit from their expertise in delivering the strategy, and have met regularly with Cycling and Walking stakeholders since then. In the light of this discussion, the Department has decided to establish a more informal stakeholder advisory group to ensure that cycling and walking policies are informed by regular dialogue with the relevant organisations. I will be meeting regularly with the group myself so that I can listen to and consider their views.
