Birmingham City Council and the Health and Well-Being Partnership are developing a new strategy to encourage more people in Birmingham to cycle more often.
The new draft cycling strategy has been developed with the aim of encouraging more people to cycle more often by:
- promoting Birmingham as a cycle friendly city;
- encouraging people to switch to bike for one or more journeys as part of their CO2 reduction pledge;
- cycling for health and encouraging participation in cycling;
- business support to help encourage cycling to work and as part of company business; and
- renewing the emphasis on improving the quality of Birmingham’s Cycle Network.
As part of the consultation on the new draft cycling strategy the City Council wants to hear views from interested groups and individuals, whether they cycle (or not) to work, to school, to the local shop, as a leisure or sporting pursuit. The consultation closes on Wednesday 30th April 2008.
A full text version of the draft cycling strategy and supporting documents (including the summary document and consultation questionnaire) are available at: www.birmingham.gov.uk/cycling
