Cycling and Walking: Investment
Asked by: Lord Krebs (Crossbench - Life peer) Monday 1st December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the demographic groups with the biggest barriers to the objectives laid out in the third cycling and walking investment strategy, published on 3 November. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) Active Travel England has commissioned a range of evidence assessments which reference barriers to walking, wheeling and cycling for different demographic groups, including women, socio-economically disadvantaged groups such as those on low incomes, and people with disabilities.
The National Travel Survey (NTS) has also historically undertaken research in this area. The results of which can be found online.
The public consultation on the development of the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy is open until 15th December 2025. The Department for Transport is also holding stakeholder engagement workshops with organisations representing disabled and older people, children and younger people, and local authorities which will supplement the public consultation. |

Waste: Crime
Asked by: Earl Russell (Liberal Democrat - Excepted Hereditary) Monday 8th December 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask His Majesty's Government whether the large-scale illegal waste dumping sites in (1) Sittingbourne in Kent, and (2) Camborne in Cornwall, which were listed as "active" in the letter from Baroness Hayman of Ullock to Lord Krebs on 5 November, are currently still receiving waste; and if so, why and what steps they are taking to close those sites. Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Waste input ceased at the site in Sittingbourne in 2021. The site at Camborne experienced a period of cessation from June 2025 until the end of November 2025. At the end of November one further deposit of waste was discovered.
The original letter to Lord Krebs on 5 November gave descriptions of ‘active’ and ‘inactive’ sites. The description of an ‘active’ site said it continued to accept waste – this was incorrect. Defra apologises for this mistake and has issued a correction to Lord Krebs accordingly.
A site is considered ‘active’ in this context if the Environment Agency is taking action at the site. A site having ‘active’ status does not necessarily mean that the site is actively receiving waste |
