Active Travel Fund - Lincoln Cathedral
The engagement has concluded
A decision has been made.
The proposal for Lincoln Cathedral LTN has been rejected. The recommendation is that this project should be explored again in the future.
127 people completed the online survey and 67% were supportive and 28% unsupportive of the proposal. However local business groups expressed strong opposition to the scheme. They fear it will have an impact on their trade. They were supported by local members, and it was agreed this was not the right time for this project.
Most of the respondents, believed the government (both local and national) should encourage cycling and walking. They also felt they should encourage shorter car trips to be swapped for active modes.
For any further information please contact walking.cycling@lincolnshire.gov.uk
Lincolnshire County Council has been awarded £799,000 of capital and revenue funding to support active travel projects as part of the Active Travel Fund.
Following the engagement exercise that took place last year and further engagement with local stakeholders we are now looking for your views on a second phase of projects.
The project below is one of five proposed to be implemented through an Experimental Traffic Order. This means that the proposal will act as trial for a period of 12-18 months and for the first 6 months we can continue to receive feedback and adjust as necessary. Sympathetic materials will be used to deliver each project.
In order for the project to move forward broad support needs to be demonstrated. At this stage all proposals are in draft, and we are seeking public feedback before proceeding further.
This engagement is now closed, thank you for taking part. We will continue to use this site to keep you informed about progress with the project.

Thank you for accessing the Active Travel Fund survey.
This proposed scheme would create a historic low-traffic neighbourhood on Minster Yard, in front of the west entrance to Lincoln Cathedral. This would involve a point closure on Minster Yard immediately outside the West entrance of the cathedral. This closure would be achieved by using sensitive materials to close the road at this location, such as heritage traffic planters.
The survey is split into two parts, firstly there is a general attitudes survey on transport then there is a brief second section for you to comment on the proposed scheme. The survey will remain live until 17th December 2021.
As this survey is intended to be anonymous, please do not to include any personal or sensitive information in your ‘open text’ responses. If you would like to look further at our privacy policies please click on this link Transport and infrastructure – Lincolnshire County Council
