Active Travel Scheme

Safer Cycling Scheme

We want a Stapleford where everything’s within easy reach. We want to build a joined-up transport network for all, which enables more people to travel sustainably and this project support our ambitions to:

• Promote positive health outcomes through walking and cycling
• Cut congestion and reduces carbon impact
• Gives people the ability to meet most of their daily needs within a 20-minute walk from home, with safe cycling and local transport options

Two of three projects are complete, supporting and encouraging more people of all ages to travel sustainably:

• Our hugely successful Stapleford Cycle Hub opened at the Ilkeston Road Recreation Ground in November 2022, helping thousands of people with free repairs and advice.
• A cycle training track opened in April 2023 for confidence and skill building, well used by families and young people.
• And work is due to start in 2024 on the infrastructure to help people travel safely around our town.
