Southwark's Cycling Strategy - Southwark Council
Southwark Council adopted its new cycling strategy Cycling for Everyone in June 2015. The council has a clear vision for cycling in the borough, that cycling will be for the many, not the few – the natural choice for getting from A to B, with attractive, accessible, connected routes that do not involve sharing the road with large vehicles or fast moving traffic. The strategy sets out a delivery plan and cost estimates to show how this policy will be implemented over the next 5 years.

Greater Manchester’s cycling vision - Transport for Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester has a vision to make cycling an everyday and aspirational form of transport, regardless of age or ability. This includes an ambitious target to increase cycling from 2% to 10% of all trips by 2025, alongside continued funding from central and local government. The transformation of Greater Manchester into a leading Cycle City region by 2025 has already begun with over £45m of cycling investment between 2012-2015. Increasing cycling levels will have a dramatic impact on the region’s health and economic prospects. With over one million commuting journeys made in Greater Manchester each day, there are significant challenges in managing the impact of congestion on network efficiency and air quality.

Cycle Coventry - Coventry City Council
Coventry City Council has taken an innovative approach to tackling health inequalities through the Cycle Coventry project by bringing together transport and public health teams and funding. This has contributed to Coventry’s aim as a Marmot city to create and develop healthy and sustainable places and communities by improving active travel across the social gradient. In the context of cycling this means ensuring that cycling interventions target those living in areas of health need, rather than just making relatively healthy people healthier, which could result in a widening of the health gap.
