Surrey County Council has teamed up with BetterPoints to launch the Greener Future challenge and make every car-free journey even more worthwhile for the residents of Surrey.

The BetterPoints app tracks your journey and awards you points which can be spent at participating local traders, redeemed for high street vouchers or donated to charity. It will also tell you how much carbon you’ve saved and how many calories you’ve burned by choosing to leave the car at home for your journey.

So, whether you walk, cycle or catch the bus – every journey counts.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your suggestions for walking and cycling improvements. We have received over 800 suggestions across these three areas.

Over the coming months we will be developing Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plans for each of these boroughs and your suggestions will be important in helping us determine which routes or zones to prioritise.

Once these routes have been identified we will develop detailed proposals for improvements along them which we will present for public consultation in due course.

To keep up to date on progress please visit our plans to improve walking and cycling web page .

This site has been created to capture your comments on the barriers that make it difficult to walk or cycle near you and suggestions for how these might be improved.

The new LCWIP map brings together multiple walking and cycling feedback sites which the council previously operated (e.g. earlier Commonplace maps and feedback forms) into a single place. Although not displayed on this map, the comments received via these earlier platforms have been captured and will be kept on record so that we can continue to refer to them.

This Commonplace is open-ended and there is no ‘deadline’ for comments, however from time to time we might actively encourage suggestions in certain parts of the county where we are developing or reviewing the LCWIP for that area.
