Further to the previous post regarding the Derbyshire Sport cycling strategy, it was recently on the agenda at South Derbyshire District Council Environment and Development Services committee.
The district council report highlighted the outline of the plan to be noted by members and suggestions and comments sent. This is part of a wider consultation held locally by the district council and more details will follow.
There were some good points raised during the meeting including insuring sustainable transport friendly solutions can be included in developments through planning policy, the issue of ownership and maintenance of routes and the involvement of neighbouring authorities.
The Derbyshire wide consultation can still be filled in via http://www.derbyshiresport.co.uk/derbyshirecyclingplan
Meanwhile it has gathered interest in the local press. I'm glad to have been asked to discuss such a positive scheme as the content of the second story in the following links show:
