The Programme for Government – Our Shared Future commits to an expansion and enhancement of dedicated expertise on active travel across our local authority system, including the Regional Design Offices, as well as the appointment of suitably qualified Cycling Officers with clear powers and roles.

The designation of  “Cycling Officer” is a matter for each Local Authority.  My Department has sought this information from the local authorities and will provide a further update to the Deputy once received.
