Welcome to the engagement page for the Henley Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).
We want to make walking, wheeling and cycling easier and more enjoyable for all in Henley and its neighbouring settlements of Sonning Common and Shiplake, including those links in between. This LCWIP seeks to put in place a plan to help achieve this so that as funding becomes available, we know what infrastructure is needed to provide Henley with an inclusive and more accessible active travel network that meets the community needs.
What is an LCWIP?
LCWIPs were introduced by the Department for Transport (DfT) in 2017, alongside their Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, as a framework with which local authorities can “develop strategic plans to improve conditions for cycling and walking, in order to support increases in travel on foot and bicycle”, by:
Understanding existing and future travel patterns, and the barriers and enablers to increasing cycling and walking
Identifying and mapping a recommended cycling network and core walking zones that will become the primary focus for infrastructure improvements
Creating a prioritised pipeline of enhancements to ensure infrastructure effectively supports growth in cycling and walking, and contributes towards meeting broader local goals’ (DfT, 2017)
The settlements above make up the current indicative study area for the Henley LCWIP and are subject to change.
How to participate
In order to make the Henley LCWIP the best we possibly can, we are seeking your views on where to make improvements. Let us know your thoughts and highlight the issues or improvements you would like to see addressed as part of the LCWIP. Using the online map found on this page, you are able to drop pins at any location in the local area and write comments.
The map shows two marked areas. The area within the red boundary is the extent of our area of focus. The area within the blue line is an indicative study area we would like to include as part of the Henley LCWIP. This is only provided as a guide and may change as the LCWIP develops and further investigation is undertaken.
Next steps
This exercise will close for comments on 16 April 2026 . Upon completion, we will analyse all the responses received which will inform the next stages of the LCWIP developments and may update this page with a summary of the feedback. The outputs from this exercise will be included in the main document which will go to a Cabinet Member Decision meeting for final approval.
