Campaigns (2nd of 22nd July) Penrith Cycling and Walking Plan

Please have a look at my blog earlier today on the issue of traffic on the C2C Strawberry Hill Penrith, if you have not already done so.

Penrith Cycle and Walking Plan: (Google Search: 'Cycling and Walking in Cumbria'; Environment and Planning; (Cumbria CC website with introduction showing other towns in Cumbria where consultation is well advanced and Penrith ‘Have your say on cycling and walking networks’ – proceed with this link.'

The consultation closes on the 6th August - not much time. It is part, hopefully, of setting up proper provision for cyclists in and around the Penrith area (as for the other parts of the County); the Government is providing funding for significant infrastructure - but it has to be clearly thought through. There is a questionnaire to complete. Please, please do have a go.

What has been thought of does not come over strongly to suggest a need for cycling provision - getting around town and to / from it linking with surrounding villages.  

I am proposing to make a submission on behalf of our Club and would welcome contributions and help from as many as possible.
