Cycling UK has been circulated their latest campaign to it’s members. As we understand it, you don’t have to be a member to support their campaign. Some members have been modifying the response along the following lines:

Could we suggest that members of the A10 CCC, in their own words, to do the same.

The email is as follows (clicking show us the money for cycling takes you to their response page)

It’s time to tell Government: Show us the money for cycling!

 

The Government has asked councils throughout England to come up with Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs), to help make cycling and walking the natural choice for shorter journeys and to make our streets and towns safer, healthier and better places to travel through, visit, work and shop. Places where we’d all rather be.

However, while many councils are now developing these plans, the Government haven’t put forward any specific funding to help cash-strapped authorities make these plans a reality.

Without this financial support, there’s every chance your council will spend valuable time and money developing detailed cycling and walking plans which will just sit on a shelf gathering dust.

Given that the Government has already admitted that it’s failing to meet its objective to double cycling by 2025, we need your MP and council leader to demand that Government show us the money for cycling.

Over a hundred MPs have already written to demand this vital funding, but you can help usramp up the pressure by emailing your MP and council leader.

Just two minutes of your time to take action could help transform where you live, shop, walk and work.

Yours sincerely,

Duncan Dollimore
