Camcycle was delighted to host officers from @suffolkcc yesterday for a cycle tour of Cambridge. It’s a great pleasure to share the gems of our city with others, from cycle parks to protected junctions & discuss what works well and what improvements we’d like to see. 1/2

Traffic filters are projected to make Oxford's roads safer for cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians by reducing car traffic. That's good news for all of us! See bit.ly/oxfordtrafficfilters for more information about the filters.

Today we supported the Better Walking for West Chesterton group at the @camcitco Development Control Forum. The new Westbrook site will have around 1,500 employees. A lack of active travel links for them & other local users will lead to more motor traffic and decreased safety.

We are keen to make sure all candidates in every ward take part in our annual election survey. @CambsLabour has told us @sam_carling_ is the person to speak to about this: @CambridgeLDs, @CambridgeGreens, @CambridgeTories could you tell us who are your campaign organisers?
We now have a full set of Green @camcitco candidates, with the addition of Stephen Lawrence (Arbury), Esmé Hennessey (Castle), Josh Morris-Blake (Cherry Hinton), and Robin Brabham (King's Hedges). I'm sure @CambridgeTories will have a full set too, but I don't have details yet.

"Due in part to [Anne Hidalgo's] policies and those of her predecessor, Bertrand Delanoë, driving within Paris city limits has fallen by about 45% since the early 1990s, while public transport use has risen by 30% and cycle use by about 1,000%." theguardian.com/cities/2023/…
