News on Corby Walking & Cycling Plan

Over 2000 pupils from nine schools across the Corby area have taken part in our School Travel Survey. The aim was to understand how pupils currently travel to school - and find out how they would like to.

Each participating school received their own personalised report of their survey results along with free reflectors as a thank you to for taking part. All schools in the area were invited to take part. A consolidated report for the whole area is shown below.

Overall, rates of walking to school are lower in the Corby area than the UK average of around 50%. However the results show that pupils have a strong preference to cycle or scoot and not be driven to school. So there is the potential for more children to travel to school in active ways.

The aim of the Walking and Cycling Plan is to identify where there is the need and the desire to have safer, easier routes so more people can walk, wheel, cycle or scoot for everyday journeys. Understanding children's preferences and views is an important part of the engagement and consultation process.

Schools (and other community organisations/representatives such as businesses and ward councillors) can give their comments about barriers to walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting in their neighbourhood via our community group feedback here.
