Cycle Action Plan for Scotland
Action 2: To work with key stakeholders and the tertiary education sector to offer accredited modules on integrating cycling best practice within their professional spheres.
Action 7: To complete the missing links in the National Cycle Network in Scotland.
Action 8: To promote the use of planning policy, access legislation and design guidance to a wide range of professionals; and to promote the outcomes of access legislation in the form of leisure activities.

Why the Devon Way? Existing capital investment

Clackmannanshire Council have provided excellent infrastructure to date along the Devon Way
The site is in full ownership of the Council

Inception Report – Objectives of the Demonstration Project
Objective 1 – Encourage active travel (walking, cycling and equestrian) along the strategic Devon Way path. The local community and users are an important part of the project
as they have to be attracted to using the path. Therefore the demonstration site will look at how they can attract users and the local community.
Objective 2 – Demonstrate and promote good practice for shared use paths and active travel infrastructure using real life examples.
Objective 3 – Delivery of a training venue which will assist practitioners in the judgement/assessment of installing shared use and active travel infrastructure. The second and third objective identifies how the demonstration
site will aid path practitioners and professionals working within the field of active travel

Devon Way – Shared Use Path – CDM
Health and Safety Executive – Construction Design and Management (CDM)Regulations 2007
Do you think it applies?
How can we use this within the path construction process?
74
Devon Way – Shared Use Path – CDM
If a project involves more than 30 days work and/or 500 person days, the project is notifiable and CDM 2007 applies in full.
Notify via F10 form
If the project lasts less than 30 working days and less than 500 person days it is not notifiable. The Regulations apply but in a limited form.
75
Devon Way – Shared Use Path – CDM
The Client The Client is the person or organisation that is promoting and instigating the project and usually the one paying for it.
The Designer The Designer is the person or company that specifies the works for a project.
The CDM Coordinator (formerly Planning Supervisor) The CDM Co-ordinator is the key health and safety role for a notifiable project.
The Principal Contractor The Principal Contractor is the main contractor working on the project. For the majority of path projects this will be one firm who may or may not employ one or more sub-contractors.

Devon Way – Shared Use Path – CDM
Overview This training course lead by Paths for All, Forestry Commission Scotland and Cycling Scotland will provide a clear and concise overview of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and Approved Code of Practice. The principals and structure of CDM 2007 and relationships between CDM duty holders are outlined, and their key duties, responsibilities and lines of communication are detailed. The training course will provide participants, who have limited or some knowledge of CDM 2007, with the sufficient understanding to apply the regulations to path construction projects, or even bridge building projects.
