We have now booked the Admiral Bar on Waterloo Street, Glasgow for the GoBike AGM on Wednesday 23 November, at 7:30pm

This will be followed by our Public Meeting and Councillor Martin McElroy, Glasgow’s Cycling Commissioner (no longer a Czar!) will outline the City Council’s views on the following aspects of the Strategic Plan for Cycling:

  1. A Safer Cycling City: Key Outcome 4 on page 17
  2. Budget: Continue to spend above the Scottish national average per head of population, to develop commuter, leisure (and sports) cycling.  (Our brackets): Target 1 on page 18
  3. Increase number of children cycling to primary school from 3.5% to 7% by 2025: Target 3 on page 18
  4. 20mph zones: page 20
  5. Glasgow Cycle Network/Infrastructure: page 23-26

You can find the Strategic Plan for Cycling from this link: http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/councillorsandcommittees/viewDoc.asp?c=P62AFQDNT1Z3DX81ZL

We hope to see you all on the 23rd!

Time to get Councillors who support Active Travel, Holmston Road Cycle Lane in Ayr to be ripped up!

 

What are we paying our Council Tax and Income Tax for if we don’t get the infrastructure?  Councillors, and yes, it’s the SNP again, voting to rip up the new Holmston Road Cycle lane – funded by Sustrans.  See: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/ayrs-holmston-road-cycle-lane-8991434

First it was the Bears Way under threat, and now Holmston Road – Council elections next May!
