       As part of the development of the council’s previous Local Transport Plan we developed          Driffield
       individual transport strategies for each of the 14 main settlements in the East Riding, as      Goole

       Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans                                                  Towns:
       Following the publication of the national Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) in     Elloughton/Brough
       April 2017, government guidance recommended that local authorities should develop Local         Hedon
       Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) for their area. Given the structure of the    Hornsea
       LTP with a focus on targeting investment on key settlements, East Riding of Yorkshire Council   Howden
       has developed LCWIPs for the 14 main settlements.                                               Market Weighton

       In accordance with this guidance each of the council’s LCWIPs includes the following:           Withernsea

           A network plan for walking and cycling which identifies preferred routes and core zones
           for further development.
           A prioritised programme of infrastructure improvements for future investment.
           An explanation of the underlying analysis carried out and a narrative which supports the
           identified improvements and network.

       The LCWIPs will contribute towards achieving the East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document policy S8 ‘Connecting People and Places’ and the five strategic objectives for the LTP,
       which are as follows:
       Objective 1        Improve the maintenance and management of the existing transport network
       Objective 2        Support sustainable economic growth and regeneration
       Objective 3        Reduce carbon emissions and encourage healthy lifestyles
       Objective 4        Improve road safety
       Objective 5        Improve access to key services
       In addressing Objective 5, a key element of each LCWIP will be to improve inclusive mobility through footway improvements including the provision of dropped kerbs and tactile paving.

       LCWIP Aims
       The primary aim of each LCWIP is to increase walking and cycling by encouraging residents to make short local trips on foot or by bike rather than travelling by single occupancy private car.
       Encouraging more trips to be made using active travel modes and reducing associated car use has a number of advantages shown below:

                                                                                                                                       Reduced traffic congestion and associated
                                                                                                                                             carbon emissions and noise

       LCWIPs and the National Cycle Network
       The National Cycle Network (NCN) is a series of safe, traffic-free paths and quiet on-road cycling and walking routes that connect to many major towns and cities. It stretches over 14,000
       miles across the length and breadth of the UK. Almost 5 million people use the National Cycle Network, and despite its name, the Network is also popular with walkers, joggers, wheelchair
       users and horse riders.
       The council has been working with sustainable transport charity Sustrans over many years to develop and manage the NCN in the East Riding, which provides links to several of the main
       settlements, villages in between, and countryside, as well as providing connections into the neighbouring areas of Hull, Selby, York, Ryedale and Scarborough.
       The NCN in the East Riding of Yorkshire includes part of the popular Way of the Roses coast2coast route between Stamford Bridge and Bridlington, the eastern section of the Trans
       Pennine Trail through to Hornsea, and the circular Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route. National Cycle Route 1, which runs through the East Riding, is also part of the North Sea Cycle Route
       (EuroVelo route 12).
                                                                                                                               The Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) is managed in partnership with the

       Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are three small suburban settlements to the west of Hull that
       have merged together over time but remain separated from Hessle, Cottingham and parts of
       Hull by areas of valued green open space.
       The three settlements have a combined estimated population of 23,523 (Office of National
       Statistics (ONS) 2018). Together the area forms one of the Major Haltemprice Settlements
       and is the third largest settlement in the East Riding.
       Willerby Square is a focus for local retail and community development. There are also small
       parades of shops along Kingston Road in Willerby and on Hull Road in Anlaby and Anlaby
       Common. Kirk Ella retains a village feel with fewer shops and is centred on the grade 1 listed
       St. Andrew’s Church within a conservation area.
       The main centres of employment are in Great Gutter Lane Industrial Estate in Willerby
       (including an East Riding of Yorkshire Council depot), along Springfield Way in Anlaby and at
       Willerby Hill Business Park adjacent to the A164. Willerby Manor and the Mercure Grange
       Park Hotel are also important employment sources. In addition, given the area’s proximity to
       Hull, a high number of residents travel to work in the city. Anlaby Willerby and Kirk Ella are
       not based around a traditional town centre; instead local residents do the majority of their
       food and grocery shopping in ‘out-of-centre’ supermarkets listed below.
       A location map showing the main services and facilities in Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella is
       included below. The area has the following key facilities:
          Six primary schools which feed into Wolfreton Secondary School and Sixth Form on Carr
         	
          Lane in Willerby plus Hull Collegiate (independent) School on Tranby Ride in Anlaby, and
          The Hub specialist school Springfield Lane.
          Numerous GP surgeries in the area plus the private Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital
         	
          managed by Spire Healthcare on Lowfield Lane in Anlaby.
          The Haltemprice Hub which includes a new GP surgery, a library, customer service centre,
         	
          and an East Riding Leisure centre with gym, squash courts, swimming pool and classes.
          Willerby shopping park adjacent to the A164 to the north west of the settlement contains
         	
          a large Waitrose, an Aldi, a Lidl and other large national chain stores.
          Morrisons supermarket on Springfield Way in Anlaby with an adjacent retail park including
         	
          Marks and Spencer’s Simply Food, Iceland and Argos stores.
          Hull Golf Club in Kirk Ella, and Springhead Park and Golf Course on Kingston Road in
         	
          Willerby.

        Road
        Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella all have good road links to the City of Hull via the B1232 (Kingston Road) and the B1231 (Springfield Way/Hull Road). The area
        is also well connected to Beverley and the strategic road network by the A164.

        Following a successful £10 million bid by the Council to the Department for Transport for major transport scheme funding, the A164 Humber Bridge to
        Beverley improvement scheme was completed in May 2013 which aimed at improving congestion and journey times, especially at peak times. The scheme
        included dualling part of the A164 between Willerby and Cottingham, providing two-lane entry/exits on the A164 roundabouts, and a continuous cycle
        facility between Beverley and the Humber Bridge.

        Some local roads can become congested with queuing traffic at peak times including the B1232 Beverley Road in Willerby between Willerby Square and the
        A164, and the Hull Road/Anlaby Park Road North/Trenton Avenue signalised junction (this falls just within the Hull boundary). Springfield Way in Anlaby
        can also experience queuing traffic at peak times, particularly in the vicinity of the retail park. A 20mph speed limit exists on parts of Main Street and along
        Victoria Road in Willerby.

                                                                         Bus
                                                                         Most of the bus services which serve Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are run by East Yorkshire buses, with frequent services
                                                                         linking with Hull. Willerby Square and Wilson Street in Anlaby are terminus points for many services.

                                                                         There are also a number of college bus services that run during term time only which transport students from Willerby and
                                                                         Anlaby to Hymers College and Wyke College in Hull.

        Rail
        Willerby and Kirk Ella railway station and Springhead Halt near Anlaby were on the Hull to
        Barnsley railway line. Both stations closed to passengers in 1955 and the line closed in 1964. In
        1970 part of the route of the line was used to construct the B1232 Beverley Road.
        The nearest railway station now for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella residents is at Hessle or
        Cottingham. Hessle provides regular links to Hull and Doncaster, while Cottingham also links to
        Hull and has services to Beverley, Bridlington and Scarborough.

        Community Transport
        The council supports several Community Transport schemes which provide a dial-a-ride service to ensure that those who cannot use conventional
        public transport due to poor health or disability can continue to access services and healthcare. The Beverley Community Lift covers the Anlaby,
        Willerby and Kirk Ella area and works with local community groups and sheltered accommodation providers to run regular minibus services. This is
        complemented by community transport groups in Hull, some of which also cover the Major Haltemprice Settlements.

        The council also operates a MediBus service which provides a well-used service by local residents for transport from their front door to local
        hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, clinics and dentists, including for visiting friends and relatives in hospital.

                   Key Transport Challenges
                   Overarching transport challenges for the East Riding are set out within the LTP
                   Strategy. A number of local challenges for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella have been
                   identified through this LCWIP.
                   The key transport challenges for the town are:
                       Of residents who live less than 1.2miles (2km) from their place of work, over
                       48% choose to drive this short distance.
                       A high proportion of residents who travel between 2km and 5km (1.2 to 3miles)
                       to their place of work choose to drive (71%).
                       The number of residents commuting by bike has reduced by 1.6%.
                   Addressing these three key challenges for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella and
                   encouraging residents to commute short distances using active travel modes will help
                   to reverse the trend in the increasing number of people driving to work. Providing
                   high quality and safe walking and cycling links to encourage modal shift will also
                   ensure that households without a car or van can continue to access local services.

                   Reducing the reliance of local residents on travelling by car for short local trips will
                   also support the existing high numbers of people walking to work in the town.

        The mapping of walking trip generators and identification of Core Walking Zones as                   Category 2 - Secondary Walking Route
        recommended in DfT guidance is already part of the process of managing the highway asset.

        To assist in the development of a Cycling Network, aid the prioritisation of improvements, and
        inform management of the cycle infrastructure, the council has categorised the public highway         Category 1 - Primary Cycleway
        establishing a cycle category.

        The cycleway network definitions have been expanded to include the size of settlement which
        may attract the desired trafficking. For the purposes of categorisation, a distance of five miles
        has been considered an acceptable distance for cycling in line with national guidance.
        The council has included an additional Category of ‘Link Cycleway’ to establish connectivity to        Category 2 - Secondary Cycleway

        The programme of schemes for the Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella LCWIP covers
        the three year period 2021/22 to 2023/24. Following appraisal the prioritised
        schemes were developed into a programme of works, shown in the table
        below. In developing the three-year delivery programme for the LCWIP a large
        number of potential schemes have been identified. To assess and prioritise these
        schemes the council applied a comprehensive appraisal framework described
        in the LTP, which considers each scheme in terms of benefits (contribution to
        achieving the LTP objectives and tackling the key priorities) and affordability. Any
        major schemes identified which were beyond the scope of LTP funding will be
        considered for additional future funding opportunities.

        In order to assess whether the LCWIP is effective and to
        determine its contribution towards meeting the five LTP
        objectives and government walking and cycling targets a
        monitoring framework has been developed. The level of
        monitoring is proportionate to the budget and type of schemes
        set out within this strategy, and monitoring will also be
        undertaken through the other LTP strategies and other areas of
        our work.
        In the national CWIS the government has set the following
        objectives for 2025:
            Double cycling based on 2013 levels;
            Increase walking activity;
            Increase the percentage of children age 5 to 10 who usually
            walk to school from 49% in 2014 to 55% in 2025.
        A number of outcome indicators have also been developed for
        each LCWIP, as shown in the table below. These will generally
        be monitored using existing sources of data. The outcome
        indicators are closely linked to the objectives and will be
        influenced by the delivery of the LCWIP.
