Plan: Plan a full network of cycle-friendly routes that allow people of all ages and abilities to cycle anywhere for any purpose
Invest: Actively seek the funding to implement the network and invest a minimum of 5-10% of the local transport budget in cycling
Build: Build the network using the most up-to-date high quality design standards
We will be emphasising the principles in the forthcoming DCC Election Campaign for May 2017.
The national Space for Cycling campaign aims to create the conditions where anyone can cycle anywhere. Cycle-friendly streets are the life-blood of safe, pleasant and healthy communities. They are good for everybody’s quality of life, whether or not they chose to cycle.
