Camcycle

A big thank you to everyone from the @mrclmb.bsky.social who raised such a brilliant amount for Camcycle through their festive raffle.

The money raised will enable us to make a big difference to the lives and journeys of those who cycle – and would like to cycle – in & around Cambridge. Thank you!

Don't forget to respond before 5pm today to the Local Plan consultation!

Help ensure that developments across Greater Cambridge accommodate all types of rider & cycle with parking facilities like these at Cambridge station.

Today we moved Anna Garratt-Quinton's memorial bike to a new home on the shared path opposite Addenbrooke's hospital, where she was a physiotherapist.

Thanks to @greatercambs.bsky.social for the specially-located Sheffield stand. We'll continue to work for safer junctions for all in her memory.

@camcycle.bsky.social says: "The Draft Local Plan is ambitious on climate change but does not yet treat transport as the central issue it is in Greater Cambridge."

We are promised proper "co-design" so remain positive. Anything that leads to progress on the ground is to be welcomed!

This morning, we went with Mill Road For People to present 1,223 signatures on the petition for better walking on Mill Road.

The county council said they are working with others on a programme of community design workshops for long-term street improvements along with some short-term road repairs.

Just fix the damned potholes! How we fix potholes in Cambridgeshire, why we still have to, and what we’re doing to get ahead of the problem.

Potholes are top of the news at the moment: they cause issues for all road users and can be particularly dangerous for cyclists.

For those wondering about the Cambridgeshire situation, here's an update from the Chair of the Highways & Transport Committee: notesfromalex.substack.com/p/just-fix-t...
