Letter Sent To Councillors
As an elected County Councillor for Eastbourne, I am writing to ask you to support CTC’s Space For Cycling Campaign.
It’s basically when the opportunity arises, supporting good cycle infrastructure.
The main aims of the campaign are…
Protected space on main roads
Removing through motor traffic in residential areas
Lower speed limits
Cycle-friendly town centres
Safe routes to school
Routes through green spaces
There is more information, including a 2 minute video, and a short document for councillors on CTC’s website. I hope you agree with what you see there, and sign up.
Bespoke are keeping a record of councillors responses, so please let me know either way if you feel you can support this or not.
