East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s current Local Transport providing consistency with the East Riding Local Plan: Plan (LTP) contains a long term 18 year Strategy (2021-2039) and a shorter term three year Implementation Plan (2021/22 to 2023/24) to action the recommendations set out Principal Towns: within the Strategy. Beverley Bridlington As part of the development of the council’s previous Local Transport Plan we developed Driffield individual transport strategies for each of the 14 main settlements in the East Riding, as Goole identified in the settlement network included in the East Riding Local Plan. The individual transport strategies were focussed on improving facilities for sustainable modes and were Major Haltemprice Settlements: well received by local residents and stakeholders. They were an effective way of delivering Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella targeted schemes for each area. Cottingham Hessle Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans Towns: Following the publication of the national Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) in Elloughton/Brough April 2017, government guidance recommended that local authorities should develop Local Hedon Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) for their area. Given the structure of the Hornsea LTP with a focus on targeting investment on key settlements, East Riding of Yorkshire Council Howden has developed LCWIPs for the 14 main settlements. Market Weighton Pocklington In accordance with this guidance each of the council’s LCWIPs includes the following: Withernsea A network plan for walking and cycling which identifies preferred routes and core zones for further development. A prioritised programme of infrastructure improvements for future investment. An explanation of the underlying analysis carried out and a narrative which supports the identified improvements and network. 5
Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 The LCWIPs will contribute towards achieving the East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document policy S8 ‘Connecting People and Places’ and the five strategic objectives for the LTP, which are as follows: Objective 1 Improve the maintenance and management of the existing transport network Objective 2 Support sustainable economic growth and regeneration Objective 3 Reduce carbon emissions and encourage healthy lifestyles Objective 4 Improve road safety Objective 5 Improve access to key services In addressing Objective 5, a key element of each LCWIP will be to improve inclusive mobility through footway improvements including the provision of dropped kerbs and tactile paving. LCWIP Aims The primary aim of each LCWIP is to increase walking and cycling by encouraging residents to make short local trips on foot or by bike rather than travelling by single occupancy private car. Encouraging more trips to be made using active travel modes and reducing associated car use has a number of advantages shown below: Reduced traffic congestion and associated carbon emissions and noise LCWIP Aims Healthier residents by incorporating physical activity into everyday life Increase walking and cycling Improved local environment and streetscape By encouraging more short trips by bike and foot Predictable journey times Active and sustainable travel 6
Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 LCWIPs and the National Cycle Network The National Cycle Network (NCN) is a series of safe, traffic-free paths and quiet on-road cycling and walking routes that connect to many major towns and cities. It stretches over 14,000 miles across the length and breadth of the UK. Almost 5 million people use the National Cycle Network, and despite its name, the Network is also popular with walkers, joggers, wheelchair users and horse riders. The council has been working with sustainable transport charity Sustrans over many years to develop and manage the NCN in the East Riding, which provides links to several of the main settlements, villages in between, and countryside, as well as providing connections into the neighbouring areas of Hull, Selby, York, Ryedale and Scarborough. The NCN in the East Riding of Yorkshire includes part of the popular Way of the Roses coast2coast route between Stamford Bridge and Bridlington, the eastern section of the Trans Pennine Trail through to Hornsea, and the circular Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route. National Cycle Route 1, which runs through the East Riding, is also part of the North Sea Cycle Route (EuroVelo route 12). The Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) is managed in partnership with the TPT office based in Barnsley. They coordinate volunteer activity and events to support and enhance the Trail. Sustrans also recruits and manages local people to volunteer time and effort to help maintain the NCN in their area. This direct support from both Sustrans and TPT to help the Council maintain facilities to a good standard is very welcome and greatly appreciated. In some areas, particularly around larger settlements, the NCN/ TPT provides useful links for commuting and access to services and other facilities. Where appropriate, each LCWIP will support the development of these links to maximise their contribution. 7
Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are three small suburban settlements to the west of Hull that have merged together over time but remain separated from Hessle, Cottingham and parts of Hull by areas of valued green open space. The three settlements have a combined estimated population of 23,523 (Office of National Statistics (ONS) 2018). Together the area forms one of the Major Haltemprice Settlements and is the third largest settlement in the East Riding. Willerby Square is a focus for local retail and community development. There are also small parades of shops along Kingston Road in Willerby and on Hull Road in Anlaby and Anlaby Common. Kirk Ella retains a village feel with fewer shops and is centred on the grade 1 listed St. Andrew’s Church within a conservation area. The main centres of employment are in Great Gutter Lane Industrial Estate in Willerby (including an East Riding of Yorkshire Council depot), along Springfield Way in Anlaby and at Willerby Hill Business Park adjacent to the A164. Willerby Manor and the Mercure Grange Park Hotel are also important employment sources. In addition, given the area’s proximity to Hull, a high number of residents travel to work in the city. Anlaby Willerby and Kirk Ella are not based around a traditional town centre; instead local residents do the majority of their food and grocery shopping in ‘out-of-centre’ supermarkets listed below. A location map showing the main services and facilities in Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella is included below. The area has the following key facilities: Six primary schools which feed into Wolfreton Secondary School and Sixth Form on Carr Lane in Willerby plus Hull Collegiate (independent) School on Tranby Ride in Anlaby, and The Hub specialist school Springfield Lane. Numerous GP surgeries in the area plus the private Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital managed by Spire Healthcare on Lowfield Lane in Anlaby. The Haltemprice Hub which includes a new GP surgery, a library, customer service centre, and an East Riding Leisure centre with gym, squash courts, swimming pool and classes. Willerby shopping park adjacent to the A164 to the north west of the settlement contains a large Waitrose, an Aldi, a Lidl and other large national chain stores. Morrisons supermarket on Springfield Way in Anlaby with an adjacent retail park including Marks and Spencer’s Simply Food, Iceland and Argos stores. Hull Golf Club in Kirk Ella, and Springhead Park and Golf Course on Kingston Road in Willerby. 8

The . review is likely to result in changes to allocations for development in the East Riding area. The Council’s Highway Development Management Team will work with developers to ensure that new housing and employment development is well connected to the existing transport network and is accessible for local residents by sustainable modes of transport, particularly through the provision of good quality footway and cycle links. 11

Secure cycle parking facilities are available throughout the area including cycle stands in Willerby Square, at the Haltemprice Hub, where there are also cycle lockers, and at Willerby shopping park and the Springfield Way retail park. There are two bike shops just inside the Hull boundary, one on Willerby Road and another on Anlaby Road. Several long distance cycle routes pass through or close to the area including National Cycle Network (NCN) route 1 which connects Dover and the Shetland Islands. The National Byway also runs north/south through the three settlements, roughly following NCN route 1. Both NCN route 1 and the National Byway are clearly signed. 12

Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 Road Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella all have good road links to the City of Hull via the B1232 (Kingston Road) and the B1231 (Springfield Way/Hull Road). The area is also well connected to Beverley and the strategic road network by the A164. Following a successful £10 million bid by the Council to the Department for Transport for major transport scheme funding, the A164 Humber Bridge to Beverley improvement scheme was completed in May 2013 which aimed at improving congestion and journey times, especially at peak times. The scheme included dualling part of the A164 between Willerby and Cottingham, providing two-lane entry/exits on the A164 roundabouts, and a continuous cycle facility between Beverley and the Humber Bridge. Some local roads can become congested with queuing traffic at peak times including the B1232 Beverley Road in Willerby between Willerby Square and the A164, and the Hull Road/Anlaby Park Road North/Trenton Avenue signalised junction (this falls just within the Hull boundary). Springfield Way in Anlaby can also experience queuing traffic at peak times, particularly in the vicinity of the retail park. A 20mph speed limit exists on parts of Main Street and along Victoria Road in Willerby. Bus Most of the bus services which serve Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella are run by East Yorkshire buses, with frequent services linking with Hull. Willerby Square and Wilson Street in Anlaby are terminus points for many services. There are also a number of college bus services that run during term time only which transport students from Willerby and Anlaby to Hymers College and Wyke College in Hull. Rail Willerby and Kirk Ella railway station and Springhead Halt near Anlaby were on the Hull to Barnsley railway line. Both stations closed to passengers in 1955 and the line closed in 1964. In 1970 part of the route of the line was used to construct the B1232 Beverley Road. The nearest railway station now for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella residents is at Hessle or Cottingham. Hessle provides regular links to Hull and Doncaster, while Cottingham also links to Hull and has services to Beverley, Bridlington and Scarborough. 14
Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 Community Transport The council supports several Community Transport schemes which provide a dial-a-ride service to ensure that those who cannot use conventional public transport due to poor health or disability can continue to access services and healthcare. The Beverley Community Lift covers the Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella area and works with local community groups and sheltered accommodation providers to run regular minibus services. This is complemented by community transport groups in Hull, some of which also cover the Major Haltemprice Settlements. The council also operates a MediBus service which provides a well-used service by local residents for transport from their front door to local hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, clinics and dentists, including for visiting friends and relatives in hospital. Key Transport Challenges Overarching transport challenges for the East Riding are set out within the LTP Strategy. A number of local challenges for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella have been identified through this LCWIP. The key transport challenges for the town are: Of residents who live less than 1.2miles (2km) from their place of work, over 48% choose to drive this short distance. A high proportion of residents who travel between 2km and 5km (1.2 to 3miles) to their place of work choose to drive (71%). The number of residents commuting by bike has reduced by 1.6%. Addressing these three key challenges for Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella and encouraging residents to commute short distances using active travel modes will help to reverse the trend in the increasing number of people driving to work. Providing high quality and safe walking and cycling links to encourage modal shift will also ensure that households without a car or van can continue to access local services. Reducing the reliance of local residents on travelling by car for short local trips will also support the existing high numbers of people walking to work in the town. 15

Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 The programme of schemes for the Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella LCWIP covers the three year period 2021/22 to 2023/24. Following appraisal the prioritised schemes were developed into a programme of works, shown in the table below. In developing the three-year delivery programme for the LCWIP a large number of potential schemes have been identified. To assess and prioritise these schemes the council applied a comprehensive appraisal framework described in the LTP, which considers each scheme in terms of benefits (contribution to achieving the LTP objectives and tackling the key priorities) and affordability. Any major schemes identified which were beyond the scope of LTP funding will be considered for additional future funding opportunities.

Developing Anlaby, Willerby The Local Setting the The Local Cycling and and Kirk Ella Monitoring and Introduction Transport Consultation Scene Context Walking LCWIP Programme Key Outcomes Context Networks 2021-2024 In order to assess whether the LCWIP is effective and to determine its contribution towards meeting the five LTP objectives and government walking and cycling targets a monitoring framework has been developed. The level of monitoring is proportionate to the budget and type of schemes set out within this strategy, and monitoring will also be undertaken through the other LTP strategies and other areas of our work. In the national CWIS the government has set the following objectives for 2025: Double cycling based on 2013 levels; Increase walking activity; Increase the percentage of children age 5 to 10 who usually walk to school from 49% in 2014 to 55% in 2025. A number of outcome indicators have also been developed for each LCWIP, as shown in the table below. These will generally be monitored using existing sources of data. The outcome indicators are closely linked to the objectives and will be influenced by the delivery of the LCWIP. Outcome indicators for each LCWIP Indicator Desired direction of travel Data source Percentage of people walking to work Increase Census Percentage of people cycling to work Increase Census Percentage of pupils age 5 to 10 usually Increase Annual survey walking to school 21
