Interim Bulletin – 5th January 2022
Happy New Year. We hope you had a relaxing and safe holiday time. We would like to bring to your
attention several important matters.
• Cowes, Northwood and Gurnard are writing a LCWIP. (Local Cycling and Walking
Infrastructure Plan) This process is open to all to comment, not just residents of the three
parishes. Please look at the information in bold below to find out more about how you can
contribute. Please send this information to friends, colleagues etc. The more people who
participate the more likely the outcome will be a place where people will want to walk and
cycle. There is a poster attached that goes with the info.
• You may remember that CycleWight has been asked to look at ways to encourage people to
cycle from Carisbrooke and Gunville into Newport. This project now has a Facebook page on
which some of the activities will be based and information will be given. Please do ask to join
the group if you do FB. It is called "Carisbrooke and Gunville Greenway"
• Finally, please find attached a poster of a charity event which takes place next week. It does
involve riding a bike! Please do share/participate if possible.
"People Powered CIC are helping the parish councils of Cowes, Northwood and Gurnard to
develop an area-wide Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).
LCWIPs are strategic plans that identify key routes and zones in towns where changes to the
infrastructure or the implementation of more walking and cycling friendly policies can provide
higher quality, safer environments for people to get around, helping to create a healthier
environment and more inclusive community.
We have now launched the consultation for the plan and we very much welcome the input of
CycleWight and your members. Information on how you can contribute is available by watching
the video here:
https://vimeo.com/657544098 or going to our web page here: https://peoplepowered.uk/lcwip/. The interactive map is available here: yourviews.org.uk
If you would like to follow our social media posts on the consultation, you can follow us using the
handle: @peoplepowerediw
Drop-in consultation events are also being held, details of which can be found on our website or
on the attached flyer. https://cyclewight.org.uk/files/lcwipposter.pdf
