A small group of our committee members took Councillor Rory Palmer on a cycling tour around the centre of the city recently, resulting in some encouraging news from the Council’s Cycling Officer, as reported by the Leicester Mercury’s Dan Martin (31 July 2013).
£7m sought to make centre of city more cycle-friendly
Nearly £7 million of Government cash is being sought to try to transform car-dominated parts of Leicester city centre into cycling-friendly areas.
The city council is seeking a share of a £42 million pot of Government cash to fund plans that will see road space reallocated as dedicated cycle lanes.
