The LCWIP for East Hampshire
The Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for East Hampshire was adopted by Hampshire County Council on 6 March 2025 (view decision here). Developed in partnership with stakeholders and the local community, it provides a strategic framework for improving walking, wheeling and cycling across the district.

The LCWIP identifies a network of preferred walking and cycling routes, assesses existing infrastructure, and sets out a prioritised programme of schemes to support future funding bids. It covers the whole of East Hampshire, including areas within the South Downs National Park.
Public consultation and stakeholder engagement took place between October and November 2024, with over 600 responses helping to inform route priorities. The adopted plan will be used to support planning decisions, transport policy and investment in active travel infrastructure.
Links to other strategies
The LCWIP supports and aligns with East Hampshire’s emerging local plan, climate and environment strategy and regeneration and economy strategy.
