Exeter and several other towns in Devon have walking and infrastructure plans, ratified by Devon County Council, ensuring that public money is invested in creating and maintaining safe cycle and pedestrian routes. Unfortunately, Exmouth has no such plan yet, although we are fortunate to have one of the premier parts of the National Cycle Network passing right through the town. 

This group aims to connect local people and groups with common interests in improving cycling and walking across the region, to help ensure that we can make the most of the resources we have, and to use local knowledge to ensure we can make the most of any new developments or opportunities as and when they arise in future.

“Providing safe cycle and pedestrian routes will encourage people to walk or cycle around the town  . It will benefit the environment by reducing carbon emissions. It will reduce conflict between cyclists, walkers and motorists, reduce the risk of collisions between cyclists, walkers and motor vehicles, and encourage a more active lifestyle with many health benefits for people of all ages and interests. “ (Mike Rosser, co-founder Exmouth Walk Wheel Cycle Campaign)
