Whilst Surrey County Council is the Highway Authority for the Borough, Guildford Borough Council undertakes a significant quantity of transport related initiatives including the provision of cycle routes in partnership with SCC.
Both the Borough and County Councils are encouraging cycling as an alternative to the car for short trips, such as journeys to work and school. In order to help encourage all age groups to cycle, a coherent cycle network is being developed linking key areas such as residential, employment and schools.
The Borough Council's cycling strategy provides the framework for cycle route provision in the borough. The strategy is amended annually and describes the routes and other facilities scheduled for implementation in the forthcoming year.
The Cycling Strategy can be viewed over the web or a hard copy is available at a charge of £1.50 to cover the costs of printing.
To obtain a hard copy of the strategy please either visit the Council offices or write your name and address and send a cheque to:

Cycle to work to beat the traffic ? Or use your bicycle for weekend cycle rides ? Then you will be interested to hear that a FREE map showing cycle routes in and around Guildford is available.
Produced by Surrey County Council with support from Guildford Borough Council, the map is in a handy leaflet form and illustrates both on and off-road cycle routes and where to find special cycle parking.
As well as identifying the cycling facilities, it also provides valuable information on safety and security, cycling skills; equipment and useful contacts for further information. Please call the transportation team on 01483-444509 or email [email protected] to request a copy and we will also send you a copy of the 'Surrey Cycleway' leaflet which contains maps of cycle routes in the wider Surrey area.
