Cycling & Walking Officer
Background The Programme for Government published in June 2020 includes ambitious targets, together with a significant provision of additional funding, for the development of walking and cycling schemes.

In recent months the National Transport Authority (NTA) has developed a five-year walking and cycling infrastructure delivery plan.
