I found this enquiry on the web.
The problem with many authorities is all they think they need do is produce a strategy = job done. I'm not sure WSCC knows what segregated infrastructure is as they have sacked their cycling officers. Also WSCC seems keen on soft spending eg bikeability which is essentially guidance on how victims can stay safe but without removing the danger itself, rather than hard spending such as building anything.

As opposed to spending lots on segregated farcilities that increase the risk of collisions by an order of maginitude.

Oh no they don't, not if they're designed well and you don't bend the collision data.

Surrey CC has a different "take" on "infrastructure".https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/cycling_infrastructure_in_surrey#incoming-580562
I wish someone in Surrey CC would cycle the Redhill "infrastructure" to see what it's like for themselves. I think it's all on shared pavements and "greenways" ie mud routes - to London Design Standards I was told. But I don't think they read the specs.

Maybe you need to check which London the design standards are from - London, Ohio maybe?
