The Walking and Cycling Index

Southampton City Region Walking and Cycling Index

Formerly known as Bike Life, this is the UK's biggest ever study of walking, wheeling and cycling.

The residents of Southampton City Region overwhelmingly support measures to help more people walk, wheel or cycle their journeys.

Every year, walking and cycling in Southampton City Region results in:

893

serious long-term health conditions prevented

£226 million

in economic benefit for individuals and the region

16,000 tonnes

of greenhouse gas emissions saved

Up to 97,000

cars taken off the road every day

Sanjay cycles regularly from Chandlers Ford to Southampton General Hospital. But this wasn’t always the case.

I cycled a bit before. In lockdown, the roads were quieter and I decided to cycle more.

[Driving] felt inefficient – I questioned why I was driving daily to and from Chandlers Ford. So I bought a bike through the hospital’s Cycle to Work Scheme.

I’d like to see more cycling infrastructure. Otherwise, you rely on drivers to be kinder and more cautious.

In Southampton City Region, walking has overtaken cars* as the most used form of urban transport.

46% of residents walk, 39% use a car, 6% cycle and only 4% use public transport at least five or more days each week.

Alongside this, residents want better streets, with 75% saying that nicer places along streets to stop and rest, such as more benches, trees and shelter, would encourage them to walk or wheel more.

59% agree that increasing space for people socialising, walking, and cycling on their local high street would improve their local area.

69% of residents said they would cycle more if there were more traffic-free cycle routes away from roads, e.g. through parks or along waterways.

*Compared to 2019 data.

RYA Youth Sailing Scheme Stages 1 & 2

This is a 5-day course aiming to progress beginners to stage 1 and those that have done their stage 1 onto stage 2. Taught from Southampton Sailing Club we aim for a fun adventure packed week of coastal sailing. All we ask is that participants are happy on water and keen to sail!

Stage 1: By the end of this introductory course you will have a basic understanding of how a boat sails, and some experience of steering and handling the boat. Stages 2, 3 and 4 will complete your introduction to the sport in easy stages.

Stage 2: By the end of this course you will have a range of sailing skills and background knowledge, and be well on the way to being a confident small-boat sailor.

We aim to give every student the help they need to progress on their personal sailing journey. However due to different learning rates we cannot guarantee a certificate based on attendance alone.

RYA Youth Sailing Scheme Stages 3 & 4

This is a 5-day course aiming to progress sailor beyond their stage 1 & 2 into some more independent sailing. Taught from Southampton Sailing Club we aim for a fun adventure packed week of coastal sailing.

Stage 3: Having completed Stage 3 you will be able to sail in any direction and rig and launch your boat. Your skills and knowledge mean that you can regard yourself as a sailor, not a beginner.

Stage 4: A Stage 4 certificate means that you have the skills to sail a double-handed boat as crew or helm, and solve a variety of problems afloat. Passing this course is the natural entry point for the advanced courses.
