6.114 Surrey CC advise that a benefit of the proposed improvements to the cycle network in<br />

the Egham area is the impact it would have on traffic congestion. Peak hour congestion<br />

in the Egham area is a serious impediment to future economic activity. Promoting<br />

economic activity is an important consideration in the Local <strong>Plan</strong> being prepared for the<br />

<strong>Borough</strong>. The Local <strong>Plan</strong> looks forward to the year 2026 and seeks to accommodate<br />

significant growth for commercial, retail and residential development. Simply adding<br />

further traffic to an overloaded network pinch point will not form the basis of good<br />

planning. Action is needed to unlock further growth potential by implementing this<br />

scheme and this can be aided by offering an alternative form of sustainable transport<br />

for those who live, work and visit the area. If people are to be encouraged to use a<br />

cycle network it must be comprehensive, attractive, and safe. This proposal addresses<br />

these issues.<br />
